Full Description
Mill of later 19th century date , possibly incorporating an earlier to mid 19th century range. It is a single-storey and attic rubble building on a T-plan. The original function of Pirriesmill (Piriesmill on the 1st Edition OS Map) is unclear. Until recently it was in use as a dairy, which closed in 1998. John Hume, however, suggests Pirriesmill was a mill (as the name suggests), and notes evidence of the axle hole for what appears to have been a low breast wheel. However there is no mention of a mill or evidence of a lade on the maps. Some of the original ranges have been altered over the years, however the central range, which appears to incorporate an earlier building, and the cottage and byre range to the N appear largely unaltered. The central range with its segmental arches and spherical finials is particularly well detailed for a modest agricultural building of this type
