Staward Mill, Ballabrooie

Archaeology

Modern corndrying kilns (site of).


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a group of buildings together with the annotation, 'Corn Mill'.


The mill complex was of late 18th or early 19th century date: its availability to rent is advertised in local newspapers from at least 1807, and is described as including kilns for drying the corn. The buildings were ruinous by the 1960s and only part of the shell of the mill survives today.


The kilns would have been housed in one of two extensions to the main mill building, probably that on the north (down-wind) side.
