The upper cover of the rectangular-planned grinding chamber has been completely destroyed and the passage to the grinding chamber is provided through the south-facing opening. There is a rectangular planned room to the east of the grinding area. This place is thought to be the place where animals rest. The upper cover of the place has been completely destroyed and its entrance faces west. The inside of the water tower was plastered with cas. In the construction of the mill, cut stone, rubble stone, earth mortar and cas mortar were used in some places. The mill, which was exposed to destruction, has lost its function today.
