1. When it was Listed in 1995, Rhos Goch Mill was described as an unusually well-preserved watermill with its machinery intact. It had worked until the 1950s, one of the last Radnorshire mills to do so. It was a combined mill and mill house of two storeys, built of rubblestone with a roof of stone tiles. It had an overshot iron waterwheel on a wooden axle, a cast iron pit wheel, cast iron wallower and spur wheel on a wooden upright shaft, and there were two pairs of French burr stones.

2. Having lain derelict for several years, the mill is currently being restored (2018). The 6-spoke all-iron waterwheel is 3.56m (11' 8") in diameter by 940mm (37") wide (internally) and is set on a 150mm (6") square iron axle.
