Description
The mill building at Felin Bryn is a Grade II listed structure made of rubble stone with slate roofs, some of which have been replaced with asbestos. The building consists of two sections, facing north and built into the bank. To the right is a lofted mill range featuring an iron overshot water-wheel at the west end, while to the left is a lower kiln-house.
The mill is small and has a half-hipped west gable. The ground floor includes a door to the left and a central window with rough stone voussoirs, along with a smaller window to the right with a timber lintel. The upper floor has a former loading door on the left, which is partly blocked with a small window inserted. The west end wall features the water-wheel and one loft window. The rear upper floor is at ground level and has a central four-pane window, with a roof that sweeps down over a pent porch supported by rubble stone side walls. There is a broad ledged stable door within the porch.
The kiln-house to the left is a single-storey, gable-ended structure with a plank door at the front, positioned at an angle to the mill range. It has small openings in the east wall and a low rear wall that includes an added lean-to made of upright slate slabs.
Inside, the mill features ladder steps leading to the loft and wooden mill machinery, which appears to be complete. The loft has pegged tie-beam-and-collar roof trusses. The kiln-house shows evidence of a raised roof and has a smoke-blackened two-bay collar-truss roof. The large square kiln has a furnace below and sloping inner sides, with stone steps leading up to the rim, which is fitted with a late 19th-century iron frame marked S.F. Kelly, Cardigan.
