Ballure Mill

Archaeology

Modern watermill and associated water management.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1869 shows a pair of roofless buildings at the grid reference provided.


The structures have been identified as a mill and a miller's house. The construction of a mill at Ballure was licensed in 1732. It was damaged by flooding and appears to have been abandoned by 1841, since no miller is recorded in the census for the area.


The mill stood very close to the watercourse and was served by a leat and tail race of only minimal length.


The area is now occupied by a modern pumping station.
