| notes:- |
There is said to have been a fulling Mill here, perhaps in Kilnstones Wood. Perhaps
on Reeve Gill? |

| The structure does not instantly look like a fulling mill, or any sort of water mill.
It is situated a long way from the beck, and has no obvious supply of water. A leat
would have been difficult over the hillside. And: why is an industrial building placed
so far from the drove route, 100-150 feet below? I'm not convinced of the identification. |
