Description
Felin-y-gors is a mill constructed from limestone rubble, topped with a slate gabled roof. The west gable end features three windows and has a crenellated parapet over the two flanking bays, which rises over the projecting central gable. On the ground floor, the central bay has a wide pointed entrance arch, while the end bays contain narrower pointed window openings. The upper floor includes a pointed central window and circular openings in the flanking bays.
The east gable has a small modern window positioned high and a larger opening at ground level, which is now a window but still shows the hinge pins of former double doors.
The north elevation facing the lane is irregular, with a slightly advanced left section that includes two filled ventilation slits, a central section with three modern windows, and a right section that is significantly advanced under a catslide roof, featuring a single modern window. The south elevation facing the pond has been completely altered.
At the east end of the building, there is a wheel pit approximately 2.4 meters wide, believed to contain a deep pit beneath it, where a large overshot wheel once operated. A hole in the wall from the current sitting room may have been used to control a sluice at the end of the launder.
Inside, a masonry stone wall divides the wheel chamber for the full height of the building. The main part of the mill to the west of this wall consists of two structural bays supported by a 19th-century king-post truss. No other internal features indicating the building's date are observable.
