2. Felin Newydd is thought to have been built c1830. It has two-storeys and is built of large, roughly-coursed rubble blocks, with Tudor-style drip mouldings over chamfered stone lintels, unser a pitched slate roof. The main access is in the north-west gable, and there is a single-storey wing extending to the north-east. The iron frame of the pitchback waterwheel, without its wooden buckets, is in situ at the south-east gable. Inside the mill machinery is complete, with two pairs of stones and their hoppers, and the upright shaft rising to a crown wheel which drove secondary shafts with wooden pulleys, driving an oatmeal shaker and the sackhoist.
