NJ86NW 7 8394 6566.

(NJ 8394 6566) The existing 18th century Mill of Nethermill overlies an earlier, more elaborate, mill structure. It is represented by a carefully constructed culvert or "flume", 3' wide and 2'6" deep, having a cobbled floor and capped by large flag stones. Traces of wall foundation and floor cobbling relating to the culvert have been observed, though the stone robbing (presumably) for use in the later structure) has been thorough.
