Description
A ruined corn mill situated on Cabalva brook near Tump Farm, with seventeenth century details; it retains three millstones. The mill was mentioned in Kilvert's Diary and shown on the Tithe Map of 1840. According to Gordon Tucker, writing in 'The Watermills of Radnorshire', Melin volume 5, 1989, only the lower parts of the walls remain but the wheelpit indicates that there was an external overshot waterwheel of approximately 15 feet in diameter. The miller's house was incorporated in the same building.

Geoff Ridyard, writing in Melin 11 (1995), notes that the mill was 'bulldozed away in the summer of 1994' and that 'there is now no trace of the three millstones referred to by Tucker.'
