Ballachurry Mill
Archaeology
Modern watermill and associated water management.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868 shows a millpond 130m to the north of Ballachurry farm. The millpond was enclosed by a substantial dam along its southern side. A leat led water to a mill housed in the westerly range of the farm buildings.
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
