Mill and dam
This mill lies 100m to the west of Loch Camasord and was originally fed by a system of dykes and leats that took water from behing the dam. The mill itself is 4m square with a wheel cell that measures 1m square. Running from the north wall of the mill for 50m is a substantial stone and turf dykes that appears to be to prevent flooding of the mill which is situated on very flat ground.
