A water-driven carding mill dating from the 19th century, now disused and unroofed.
Visited by OS (NKB), 10 August 1977.
(Location cited as NC 855 657). Woollen mill, Baligill, built c. 1800 as a meal mill and converted to a woollen mill c. 1860. The roofless but otherwise complete ruin of a rubble building on an L plan.
J R Hume 1977.
This L-shaped structure of dressed stone measures 15.5m by 11.5m over all; traces of a possible dam and lade are also to be seen. It probably dates from the 19th century and is locally said to have been a meal mill which was subsequently used for carding wool.
R J Mercer 1981.
From the evidence of photograph it is clear that mill has gone through several structural changes and extensions.
Information from RCAHMS (SC), 6 August 1999.
