Summary
A granite cider mill or 'edge runner' lies near the foot of the western slope of a spur, 40m from Broadall Lake. It is in an abandoned and unfinished state and it is still in its trigged position with a flat surface uppermost. The circular stone, which has been roughly hewn into shape has a diameter of 1.33m and is approximately 0.26m thick. A central hole through the stone has a maximum diameter of 0.13m though it tapers slightly to 0.9m. The stone was probably abandoned when a large section of the circumference fractured off rendering the remainder useless. The underside of the stone is hidden from view.
