(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.
J R Hume 1977.
The remains of this disused mill comprise the shell of the building, a remnant of the wheel (not in situ), and traces of the silted-up lade.
Visited by OS (JM), 30 May 1980.
