The site of a post-medieval flax mill.
The 1869 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map shows a "T.Mill" (Threshing Mill) at this location recorded under record 1767.20.
The site of a rectilinear sheepfold of possible medieval origin. It measures circa 13 metres long north-northeast to south-southwest, by 8 metres wide.
A two-storey, double-fronted, semi-detached house with two-storey extension to rear and single-storey extension to its west gable. The house was originally a single-storey structure with a thatched roof, until an additional, slate-roofed storey was added in the 1930s. Early photographs show that the gable extension was previously roofed with corrugated iron, before both it and the main house were raised and re-roofed in slate just prior to WW2.
Old photographs suggest that Creg y Shee was built on to the existing west gable of Cummal Beg (0046.03), making it the younger of the two properties, and that originally only the westerly or left-hand room had a hearth.
Two storey, double-fronted, semi-detached house with two storey extension to rear and single storey extension to west gable. Originally constructed before 1868 (present on Ordnance Survey 1:2500 1st edition map of that date).

The site of a possible round house or hut circle associated with the rectilinear structure PRN 0720.00. It has an external diameter of 7.0 metres and the maximum height of its wall bases is 0.4 metres. Two smaller circular structures here have external diameters of 5.0 metres and wall bases up to 0.2 metres high. No entrances are traceable.
The site has been proposed as a possible keeill but are in a highly inaccessible and unlikely spot for a keeill. The hut circles do not resemble the built-up mounds of medieval shielings and are thus more probably Iron Age or perhaps Bronze Age in date.
The site of a very ruined building, reduced to wall bases, which is thought to be a possible early medieval keeill, but may represent a settlement site. It is situated on the east side of a hill on a platform approximately 20.0 metres wide running northeast to southwest between two areas of rock outcrops. It consists of five features, including a rectangular building orientated east-west, which measures 13.4 metres by 4.9 metres internally to the west end, narrowing to 2.4 metres to the east end. The south wall consists of a single line of boulders, average 0.4 metres high, which may by the remains of part of the inside and part of the outside of the wall thus giving the effect of it not being parallel with the north wall. The north wall consists of smallish stones, many of which are dislodged, and averages 2.0 metres wide. The east wall is similarly formed but 1.0 metre wide. A sheer rock face 3.5 metres high forms the west wall. the east wall has rounded corners. It is possibly the remains of a Viking long house, but the use of the rock face and irrregular plan may indicate that it is a sheep fold.
Modern watermill and associated water management.
Historical rentbooks show that a mill has existed on this site since at least 1631.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 shows a corn mill at this location.
The mill is immediately adjacent to the Silver Burn, and the wheel was located on the north gable. The millpond is located immediately to the northwest, and is fed by a leat which is taken off the river 250m upstream. The leat was protected by a sluice at its upper end, and an overflow sluice prevented the millpond from overtopping.
The complex is now used as a retail and visitor facility.

The millpond is located immediately to the northwest of the mill, and is retained by a substantial dam embankment on its east and south sides.
It is fed by a leat which is taken off the river 250m upstream. The leat was protected by a sluice at its upper end, and an overflow sluice prevented the millpond from overtopping.

A site where lintel graves have been reportedly found, perhaps indicating the presence of a burial ground. The record is based on an annotation on a map of antiquarian observations kept in the MNH library: there is no other tradition associated with the area to confirm this.
The grid reference relates to the centre of the field in which the annotation is recorded.
The findspot of a small flint flake of Mesolithic date.
The find was made within OS Plot 2031, which is centred at the grid reference provided. Cregneash Hill is not a recognised historical placename, and the plot number clarifies that the find was made on the north side of Cronk ny Arrey.
