The remains of a large tower mill, late 18th century, stand on the N side of Swinton village opposite the Green. The surviving structure, roughly built of red sandstone, is c 4m high and 6.5m in diameter at ground level. An adjoining building was possibly a dispatching room or kiln. A second building, 3m S, is also contemporary.

Both buildings have been altered.
