The National Monuments Service's description
Described in 1633-6 as a 'good English mill here, one of the best in the country' (Wood-Martin 1889, 151) the mill is situated in a narrow plot of ground between the W base of a steep hill and a stream. The mill has largely been demolished, with only a short section (15m N-S; H 2m) of the lower courses of the E wall of the monument surviving. To the W of the surviving wall, which is built into the base of the hill, are grass-covered rubble mounds.
