The National Monuments Service's description
Roofless, partially collapsed mill on N bank of Bride River to W of Aghern Castle and House (CO045-02301). Indicated on 1904 and 1935 OS 6-inch maps as L-shaped structure with mill race. T-shaped in plan (long axis N-S), built on slope making it 2-storey at N end with basement-like floor at S end. Wheel-pit (wet) (Wth 2.9m) along S wall. Two sandstone millstones within suggest it functioned as Corn Mill.
