Wooden Mill lies about 500m north-west of Wooden House, built by the banks of the River Tweed overlooking Wooden Anna. The mill appears on Tennant's Map of Roxburghshire published in 1840, and was probably built shortly before.
The mill was photographed in 1974 and at this time the buildings were near-ruinous. The mill's pyramidal-roofed kiln was intact, though the mill building itself lay in ruins. According to the first edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map of Roxburghshire (1860) this was a woollen mill, and the map clearly shows that the mill was sited to exploit the stream running around the south bank of Wooden Anna.
