Ballachurry Mill
Archaeology
Modern watermill and associated water management.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 indicates a watermill within the westerly range of farm buildings at Ballachurry farm.
The mill was powered by a leat drawing water from a millpond 130m to the north.
The machinery is no longer present and the buildings have been converted for holiday use. The leat and millpond have been filled in and are occasionally visible as cropmarks in a field given over to agricultural use.
Ballachurry, Port Erin
