Glen Auldyn Mill

Archaeology

Modern watermill and associated water management (site of).


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a building at the grid reference provided, together with the annotation, 'Corn Mill'. The mill was subsequently converted and used as a woollen mill.


The mill was powered by a waterwheel located on the west gable, and was served by a leat which extended 90m upstream. Additional storage was provided by a small millpond. A tail race returned water to the Glen Auldyn river a further 90m downstream.


The structure is now partly demolished and the site occupied by a domestic garden.
