Appraisal
This rustic mill building occupies a prominent position in a wooded setting beside the Dunneill River at the east edge of the village. Its fine rubble stonework, cast-iron lattice window and sheeted doors are all original features of interest. More industrial archaeology may exist in and around the mill.
