Thanks Beca

Consider contacting Mike Bennett, he is an authority on Pembrokeshire Mills.

A corn mill and mill pond is shown on the 1869 OS map.It might be worth looking at later maps  to see when it was last marked as a mill.The Leach family were at Lowere Nash Farm so a search for them on censuses might indicate if milling was going on there.The Record Office is currently closed along with the reference library.They are both due to re open in new premises at Prendergast in the New Year.The on line archive shows they have material on Lower Nash Farm although no mention of the mill is specifically mentioned in the index.The mill is mentioned in the Dyfed Archaelogical Trust index of mills but no information is given other than the location.
