Field Visit (28 November 2009)

Situated on flat land at the bottom of the valley, overlying a stream which adjoins River Ledbeg is a line of rubble 1m long, covered in earth and overgrown by heather. In the stream is a small stone pile. Together these features were tentatively identified as the remains of the horizontal mill.
