Glen Maye Mill

Archaeology

Modern overflow race.


The Ordnance Survey 1:2500 First Edition mapping of 1868-9 shows a building together with the annotation, 'Corn Mill'.


The mill was a small structure located immediately adjacent to the road bridge crossing the Glen Rushen river in the bottom of the valley. It was part of a complex that included several other structures (possibly a grain store and a miller's cottage) on the south side of the road and a miller's house to the north.


An overflow race protected the miller's house and the mill. The grid reference relates to a point midway along its course for indicative purposes.


It has been filled in and replaced by a modern overflow race which diverts water from the southern leat along a line approximately similar to the former race.
