Kerrowcruin Mill

Archaeology

Modern watermill (site of).


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


The mill was one of a complex of buildings shown intact on the 1869 mapping, all but one of which have since been destroyed by coastal erosion.


The mill was supplied by a leat and millpond, both of which however still survive and provide water to a modern fish farm. The tail race would appear to have been culverted from the gable of the mill to a point just above the cliffline, over which it emptied onto the shore.
