Description
Melin Wen is the name given to a dwelling and farmstead at this site. The east end of a long range of stone buildings was the corn mill. The upper floor has been re-roofed and re-floored, and no evidence of the mill's internal arrangement remains; but on the ground floor the wall sockets which housed the bridge-trees and a cut-out for the great spur wheel can be seen, together with the outer top horizontal of the hurst frame with half-joints and mortises for the verticals. The launder from the raised millpond has disappeared, and the wheelpit has been filled.
None of the historic OS maps record the mill itself, and it had probably ceased work by the 1880s.
