A number of old millstones have been set in the ground outside the mill. This was formerly the floor of a covered yard, its front open on the north side. The area is shown as roofed over on the second edition Ordnance Survey map of circa 1904, but not on the first edition map of circa 1890. It appears to have been used as a loading bay and cart shed. Six of the millstones are French burr stones, all about 1.2 metres in diameter and, where the dressing can be seen, they were dressed for clockwises rotation. A single conglomerate stone, of slightly smaller diameter, is dressed for anti-clockwise rotation. Other details: Figures2-4, 9; plate 4.
