This former eighteenth-century cotton mill, believed to be the only one in south Wales, was converted into a paper mill in 1816. The three-storey brick building straddled the southern end of a pond which was fed by 980m-long leat from a weir across the Westen Cleddau river. The mill is shown as in use on the 1889 first edition Ordnance Survey 25in map but marked as disused on the 1907 edition - it is thought to have stopped production in 1900. By 1985 the mill was in ruins and in 1986 was partially demolished.
