(Location cited as NC 208 590). Mill, Oldshoremore, early 19th century. The roofless ruin of a rectangular 1-storey rubble building, with the iron axle and hub of an 8-spoke wheel, with wooden spooks 28ins (0.71m) wide by about 12ft (3.7m) diameter, which drove one pair of stones. The iron pit-wheel survives.
