Modern tail race.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a group of buildings together with the annotation, 'Corn Mill'.


The mill stands just a few metres to the south of the river, which has an extensive catchment derived from the hills inland of Kirk Michael.


The watersupply was derived from a long leat, which was cut into the south side of the winding, narrow valley and extends some 500m upstream, where the inlet was controlled by a sluice and weir. The overall fall on the leat is between 10-12m.


The tail race is culverted under the yard in front of the mill and flows past the westerly gable of the miller's house back into the river. The grid reference refers for indicative purposes to a point midway along the culverted part of the tail race.


The tail race is still extant.
