What is recorded here

Detached four-bay two-storey water-powered corn mill and kiln with attic storey, built c.1800. Now disused. Single- storey to rear due to slope of land. Roofless, gables indicating pitched profile with some remaining slates to top of walls. Coursed rubble limestone and sandstone walls, with vestiges of lime render. Only traces of kiln walls survive. Square-headed window openings to mill, with stone jambs and lintels, no sills. Remains of water-wheel on north-east gable, with cast-iron axle and eight wooden spokes to mill side of wheel-pit. Position of sluice implies high breast-shot wheel. Masonry weir to east feeding head race via culvert under road. Tail race culverted to river. Detached two-bay single-storey miller's house, aligned east-west, immediately west of mill and kiln, having pitched corrugated-iron roof and rendered chimneystack, with vestiges of half-round cast-iron gutters, lime and cement-rendered random rubble walls, square-headed window openings with stone jambs and heads, stone sills to some windows, and with windbreak at west end of south elevation. Two-bay two-storey rubble-stone outbuilding to east of house on roadside.
