Appraisal
A middle-size mill building forming an important element of the industrial legacy of Stoneyford having traditionally supported much of the local agricultural economy. Although now long disused the elementary form and massing of the composition remain substantially intact with the building thereby surviving as a landmark of some Romantic quality enhancing the group and setting values of the Ennisnag House (Ennisnag Flour Mill) grounds.
