Solid wall surmounted by walkway giving access to 4 sluices; low rail with column supports, retaining wall on north side of ashlar, approx 30m long and links to the weir (qv); on south side the walling approx 20m long and of several phases of stonework. In 1788 Thomas Lloyd's programme of rebuilding at Armley included recutting the narrow mill race, the engineer was John Sutcliffe of Halifax. The earlier fulling mill stood on this site and the south side stonework might include some remains. Benjamin Gott's new mill in 1805 might have required further alterations to provide sufficient flow of water for the new water wheels.
