Date Added 29/10/2003 Type Industrial: farming, food production; mill, factory Local Authority Perth And Kinross Parish Little Dunkeld NGR NN 94708 40236 Coordinates 294708, 740236 — The monument comprises a mill of post-medieval date, visible as upstanding remains. The monument is situated on the eastern side of Tombane Burn, and levelled into the base of a steeply-incised valley side, at about 220m O.D. The monument is depicted as roofed on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map (1867) and comprises the remains of a mill measuring c. 15m from WNW to ESE by 5.3m transversely within coursed-rubble footings 0.8m in thickness and up to 1.8m in height. The wheel-pit, probably housing an over-shot wheel, is at the WNW end of the building and measures 1.45m across. A lade, which runs in from the NW, has been dug into the NE side of the valley. The OS First Edition map (1867) shows the lade being fed from two sluices on the burn and also taking in an unnamed burn flowing in from the N. The area proposed for scheduling comprises the remains described, including a well preserved section of the lade and an area around them within which related material may be expected to be found. It is irregular in shape with maximum dimensions of 88m NW/SE by 45m E/W, as marked in red on the accompanying map extract.
