Modern mill leat.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building 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 ultimate source of the mill's water supply was stream to the east of the farm, from which a 280m leat fed the millpond above the farmstead.


The line of the leat is for the most part obscured where it crosses agricultural land, but the channel still survives within the stream gully from where the draw-off point was located. The grid reference refers to this.
