The existing rectangular building shown on current Ordnance Survey maps is in the same position as an L-shaped building on the first edition map of 1890 marked as 'Corn Mill'. The existing building appears to be part of the mill as it has a rectangular pit alongside the north wall, circa 6 metres by 2 metres by 4.5 metres deep. A short section of leat runs north from the pit, stopping (possibly infilled) circa 9 metres south of the east-west leat for the millpond. The millpond to the west of the building is roughly oval, 33 metres east-west by 23 metres north-south and is 8 metres deep at the east end. The interior face of the pond is stone-lined on the south and east sides. The height of the west side is increased as cut into the slope and no stone is visible on this side. The north side is boggy and overgrown and was not examined. The leat into the pond is visible in the north-west corner, circa 1metre wide by circa 0.5-0.6 metres deep, overgrown and inaccessible. The leat taking water from the pond is visible in the north-east corner, running east past the north side of the mill, 1 metre wide and 0.75 metres deep.
