Ballure Mill

Archaeology

Modern watermill.


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


The structure has been identified as a mill. 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.
