(Location cited as ND 252 549). Mill of Watten, late 18th or early 19th century. A handsome large mill, with a double kiln at one end built of flagstone rubble with a flagstone roof. The machinery is now all removed and the building is used as a cowshed. The wheel appears to have been mid-breast, about 4ft (1.22m) wide by 14ft (4.27m) diameter.
