Modern watermill and associated water management.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 marks a building at the grid reference provided, together with the annotation, 'Corn Mill'.


The mill stands on the right bank of the Ballaugh stream, but takes its water from a leat extending 130m upstream. The take-off for the leat is controlled by a sluice adjacent to a ford, and the leat is culverted under the road access to Ballaterson Moar farm, which it served. A 30m tail race returns the water to the stream.


The structure is now used as an outbuilding.
