Hookin Mill HY 5005 5122 HY55SW
On the shoreline at the outflow from St Tredwell's Loch is a roofless rectangular building, externally 10.5m E-W by 5.3m, with opposed doorways near the W end in the N and S walls. The iron-framed undershot-wheel, 2.8m in diameter, is outside the E wall;
within the ruin are the collapsed remains of machinery including two millstones. This mill could operate only at low tide and then not every effectively; it was used for grinding oats.
