(Location cited as HY 417 207). Threshing Mill, Breck of Rendall, 19th century. An interesting and unusual barn threshing machine in a crow-stepped-gabled, two-storey and basement building at the corner of a rectangular steading block. The skeleton of the eight-spoke, iron overshot wheel, with wooden buckets, survives in a pit. The mill and fanners appear to be intact.
