(Location cited as HU 406 172 to 407 171: considered as group with HU41NW 18-25). Norse mills, Troswick, 19th century or earlier. A remarkable series of seven mills, mostly with stones in position. The lowest of the series was restored in 1929 and is still occasionally used; it has a tarred felt roof and the 3ft (0.91m)-diameter stones are driven by a concrete-centred tirl 3ft (0.91m) in dioameter with twelve paddles. The stone housings for the temporary sluices used to divert the stream through the mill are noteworthy.
