The mill building was recently pulled down, while nothing is known of the machinery. Water for power supplied by leat from weir on River Otter. There are 19th century documentary references. The mill was 100m from Higher Griggs Mill with which it was closely associated.

There are signs of a building having been located at above grid reference. Shown by uneven ground. 19th century brick outhouses to the north of this on the other side of the mill stream survive. The mill stream here is revetted with stone and this is the probable site of a wheel. See sketch in archive.
