Water-powered corn mill, fed by a 42m long leat directly from the River Usk. The weir across the river is 85m long. Remains of an iron and wood low breast shot wheel are visible and some machinery survives; the upper part of the mill has been converted into holiday accommodation. Unusual in that the mill is set directly on the river bank; this implies considerably greater antiquity for the site than the present buildings would imply. A corn-drying kiln stands nearby at SO 08443 26917.
