The mill race along the Glashaboy river still flows, approaching from the north just as it always did, and the wheel-pit on the eastern elevation still houses an iron waterwheel of the low breastshot type, in which water strikes the wheel roughly at axle height to drive it round. A pinion wheel remains attached to the shrouding. These are not reconstructions or museum pieces; they are simply what was left behind when the mill stopped working.

The main rectangular structure measures just under twenty metres north to south and twelve and a half metres east to west. Its western elevation is built in coursed limestone ashlar, a carefully dressed and layered stonework that gives it a solidity out of proportion with its modest scale. Two elliptically-headed doors at ground floor level have limestone surrounds, while the remaining openings are finished with brick, a small but telling shift in material that suggests different phases of construction or repair. By 1842, the Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded not just this mill but a substantial complex of buildings to the east of it. A five-bay extension, which once connected the mill to that wider complex, still partially survives, straddling the wheel-pit. The larger complex itself does not; those buildings are gone. A fire in 1960 destroyed the extension as it then stood, and what exists today is a rebuilt, single-storey version of what had once been a much taller link between the mill and its outbuildings. The 1902 Ordnance Survey map had still shown those eastern structures intact, which places their disappearance somewhere in the twentieth century, the fire being the decisive moment.
