The mill was fed by a leat from the River Skell near the west wall of the precinct which widened into a mill pond with a dam against the west wall of the building. 2 waterwheels were in use, serving 2 cornmills and later other processes. The north end, possibly housing waterwheels, was demolished after the dissolution of Fountains Abbey (qv) in 1539 and was replaced by the lower-roofed block. The mill continued in use until the early C20. A Scheduled Ancient Monument. R Gilyard-Beer, Fountains Abbey, 1977, p 75.
