By the time the first edition Ordnance Survey six-inch map was published in 1840, it was already marked as a flour mill in ruins, which means the structure had passed out of working use well before that survey was made. The mill sits in a narrow strip of pasture next to woodland, roughly a metre from the riverbank, in the kind of marginal, easily overlooked ground that old industrial buildings tend to occupy.

The Civil Survey of 1654 to 1656 places the mill of Strike on the Clashawley River as a boundary marker, suggesting it was a recognised landmark in the landscape even then. An earlier reference, from 1640, describes what appears to be the same building as a corn mill, unroofed, with a brook running through it, in land held by a Nicholas Everard in the area known as Kylmocley. The structure that survives is rectangular, measuring roughly 5.7 metres north to south and 7 metres east to west. The eastern wall still stands to some height, built of random rubble with short returns surviving at the north and south ends, while the remaining walls have collapsed to low, sod-covered footings. Two openings survive in the eastern wall: a window at the northern end, whose arch is formed from narrow voussoirs, and a doorway at the southern end where the jamb stones on one side have been removed, leaving a rougher breach. That doorway is particularly notable for its semi-circular relieving arch, a structural arch built above a lintel to redirect the weight of the wall, which is composed of rough milky quartz voussoirs. A lean-to addition, squarer in plan and built from small uncoursed rubble, was added later against the main compartment, its more casual construction contrasting with the modest attempt at coursing visible in the original walls.
