Near the shore is the remains of a water powered corn mill and corn drying kiln, the buildings are shown on the right with the kiln in the foreground the mill behind it.

The millwheel has not survived although its shaft is in place, some of the internal machinery has survived but not in its original position, having been dumped into the pit

To the west of the corn mill on higher ground is a derelict wind will with the majority of its machinery collapsed within its walls
