Claddagh Mill
Archaeology
Modern mill tail race.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a building accompanied by the annotation 'Corn Mill'.
The mill complex consisted of the mill itself, a grain store which latterly was connected to the mill by an overhead walkway, and a miller's house.
A weir drew off water from the Sulby river along a leat to a millpond, from which the leat continued to the mill.
From this point the tail race extended for 900m before re-entering the Sulby river at the grid reference provided. It still carries water.
