Glen Maye Mill
Archaeology
Modern mill tail 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 on the south side of the road and a miller's house to the north.
A tail race extending 20m returned the water to the Glen Rushen river just downstream of the bridge and mill. The grid reference relates to a point midway along its course for indicative purposes.
The line of the tail race can still be seen.
