A view of the meal floor, several stones are in the base. The one seen here is 1690 based on the grooves for the rynd on the upper stone. From the 1700s the 'Spanish cross' design was adopted. Both the pre and post 1700s designs are on this stone. It probably comes from another mill before this one on the same site.
