Mill
this stone built horizontal millmeasuring 4 x 3m … is a good example of those typical to the west Uig area not having a corbelled mill chamber of stone construction upon which the stone would have stood, but having instead an open straight sided chamber that was presumably covered with a wooden floor for the mill stones to sit on. 5m to the north of this mill is the remains of a sluice on the leat that fed it.
