Message to Keith Parfitt:

We’re now getting close to uncovering the planking of the whole tailrace and it should be done either later tomorrow or by later this week. They’ve done amazing work, so far!

Current thoughts are that it’s an old Trout-breeding farm which was set into the tailrace of an older mill structure. If so, this begs the questions “how old is the trout farm” and “how far do we go down in excavating further”?

I’ve also found some small evidence of other structure set in the bank (just outside the Mill) which we’ll put a square around and mark for a trench later.
