Kentraugh Millpond
Archaeology
Modern millpond.
The Ordnance Survey First Edition 1:2500 map of 1868 records a corn mill at Kentraugh, and the millpond is shown immediately to the east. The mill leat is shown extending for just over 500m upstream, whilst the tail race rejoins the Colby river 200m downstream. The lower reaches of the leat and the southern side of the millpond are retained by substantial embankments and a dam.
The millpond is now filled in. The leat and tail race are still traceable throughout their length.
