East Lhergydhoo Corn Mill
Archaeology
A post-medieval corn mill was located in the southernmost part of an outbuilding in the farmstead, the wheel being located on the gable as shown on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 large-scale mapping published in 1870. There is no annotation to indicate the mill within the building, which then, as now, was presumably for the most part used for animals and feed storage.
The same mapping depicts the millpond (parcel 1082, lying in Field No 1112) to the south-east of the farm, with a leat connecting the pond and the mill; two sluices, an overflow and the tail-race are also shown.
The mill was presumably used for processing produce from the farm and animal feed.
