The mill proper is only a small part of a huge construction. It is the section at the left side of the building (1), where the roof is a trifle lower than the rest. Its relative size is also good to appreciate in (5).

The mill is without its own entrance and can only be accessed from the inside of the other building. There are only two small windows: one above the cárcavo (left in 1) and, an even smaller, one in the side wall (5).

We could not enter the building and there was no way to get a look at the insides, so we don't know if some of the equipment may still be present. However, the cárcavo (4) is empty and the space inside probably as well.

No traces of the former activities were found, apart from a decommissioned mill stone with a diameter of 130cm (3). The stone is dressed with curved furrows like most of the older stones in the wide region.
