Claddagh Mill
Archaeology
Modern mill leat.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a building accompanied by the annotation 'Corn Mill'.
A 70m leat supplied water from the Sulby river, drawn off by means of a substantial weir which still survives, to a 0.4 acre millpond. From here the leat continued a further 20m to the wheel, which was located on the easterly gable of the mill.
The weir and the line of the leat are still visible despite the construction of a small sewage works. The grid reference relates to a point midway along the line of the leat, for indicative purposes.
