Felin Carnau Tide Mill is a post-medieval industrial tide mill located in Anglesey, Wales, designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument under the reference AN131. The mill exploited the considerable tidal range of the local estuary to power grinding machinery, a technology that became established in Wales from the medieval period onwards but flourished particularly during the post-medieval era. The surviving structure represents the physical remains of this industrial operation, which would have functioned by trapping tidal water behind a dam or sluice gate, then releasing it through channels to drive a waterwheel. As a tide mill installation, Felin Carnau documents the practical application of hydraulic engineering and grain milling technology within the wider context of Anglesey's historic industrial landscape.
