Kerrowcruin Mill
Archaeology
Modern watermill (site of) and associated water management.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a group of buildings, together with the annotation, 'Corn Mill'.
The mill complex has 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 as far as a point (to which the grid reference relates) just above the cliffline, over which it emptied onto the shore.
Like the rest of the mill buildings, the tail race has since been destroyed by coastal erosion.
