NO 0489 1785
The former millpond 90 x 30m, excavated from a river terrace at NO 049 178, post-dates the railway
embankment c1845, being fed by an embanked channel from where the railway crosses the Water of May. The pond supplied an 80m lade alongside the lane leading to Milton, to where there are possible mill foundations at NO 0488 1790. Previously there was a lade along the edge of the valley, part of which survives, together with a training bank at NO 0494 1776, SSE of the pond. This supplied a mill 15 x 6m set end on against the dam
at NO 04891785, with the wheel pit on W side, re-used as an overflow channel for the later pond. The residue of the river terrace could be investigated for earlier occupation evidence.
Plan and description deposited with RCAHMS (Acq No 2007/218).
