Melin Bodowyr is a two-storey rubblestone building, with a newer extension at the north-west end and lean-to buildings on three elevations. The main building measures 10.8 x 4.9 metres internally. The composite, six-spoked water wheel, 3.94 metres diameter by 1.64 metres wide on a wooden ocatgonal axle, is on the south-east gable, and drives two pairs of stones (one French, one Anglesey). The internal gears are cast iron on a wooden main shaft. The sack hoist and its drive are complete. (Cooke, 2013)
