The mill dates back to the mid 17th century where it is believed it originally had a norse style horizontal water wheel used for grinding flour. In the 90’s it was replaced with a horizontal turbine. Today the wheel is present but not installed. The working sluice gate controls the flow from the mill pond through the chamber. The mill could be converted to generate electricity.

The water supply to the mill is from an underground source, the water is oxygen rich and perfect for aquaculture, there are raceways which were used to produce trout.  The mill was renowned for its fresh trout supplying the locality.
