Little Kilmory Mill, Little Kilmory

2-storey, 4-bay rectangular-plan former granary/water mill set on sloping site. Harl-pointed random rubble sandstone; rubble quoins (red rubble sandstone at upper stage); long and short surrounds to openings. Part-harled red-brick, roofless lean-to addition at rear.

Simple, but nevertheless interesting rubble structure which has retained its slit openings, timber doors, slated roof and raised skews. The SVBWG handbook refers to this as a water mill - a function possibly confirmed by the existence of 2 mill damns and a lade nearby (see Ordnance Survey map, 1863). However, its raised ground floor, ventilation slits and rear timber door indicate that it could, at one time, have been a granary. The red sandstone quoins beneath the eaves and the apparently later sandstone dressings surrounding the rear door may imply that the structure was raised and subsequently converted from a mill to a granary.

29 August 2012: External inspection finds the building in a generally sound state but with a poor roof. From what could be viewed of the interior from the exterior, it is in poor internal condition. It is disused and unsecured. Listed Building Consent for Alterations to derelict former mill to form dwellinghouse was lodged but withdrawn May 2009 ref: 08/01482/LIB.

4 December 2018: A member of the public advises demolition work has occurred at the site. Local planners confirm parts of the building were demolished following concerns for the structural stability of the former mill.
