Melin Cadnant, Llandegfan
Primary Reference Number (PRN) : 28135 Trust : Gwynedd Community : Cwm Cadnant Unitary authority : Ynys Mon NGR : SH55977405 Site Type (preferred type first) : MEDIEVAL CORN MILL
Description : Melin Cadnant was a large two-storey mill set in the deep, narrow valley of the Afon Cadnant, sited where a high head of water was available. The building was some 16 by 10 metres on plan, and with large cellars accessed from the front of the building. The wheel pit, on the west gable, would have accommodated an overshot wheel 6.8 metres diameter and 0.9 metres wide. Inside the mill a french bedstone remained in situ. By 2006 the mill had been entirely demolished and its site incorporated into the garden of the former mill cottage to the north. (Source: RCAHMW) (Burnett 2009)
Clearly marked on 6"OS map, with fulling mill just below. Fieldwork required to check remains, but definitely a developed site. (Davidson 2002, p.24)
