Mill
The remains of this mill, built with dry stone, are situated between Loch Buaile nan Caroach and Loch Camasord. Measuring 2.2m xquare, the mill chamber is unusual as it bulges on its western side apparently directing the water flow acorss the chamber. It is not clear where the horizontal turbine was situated or which way it turned. On the floor of the chamber are the remains of one mill stone.
