Ballaquayle Mill
Archaeology
Modern watermill and associated water management.
The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building at the grid reference provided at Ballaquayle farm. There is no annotation, but the building is served by a millpond and leat, and would have processed agricultural produce for the farm.
The mill was supplied by a leat leading 140m to a millpond above the farm. This in turn was supplied by a leat drawing water from a stream 280m away to the east of the farm.
The mill building still survives.
