Wheelpit on west side of building which is likely to have been the site of the watermill referred to in a document of 1325. The wheelpit is considerably lower than the present ground surface. It was probably longer than the surviving building, probably extending about 15 metres from the dam. This could have accommodated two water wheels in line. A possible platform observed behind the existing building may indicate the position of an additional structure for the second wheel. The wheelpit would have been served by a leat from the pond which is now buried.
