Tregargus stone grinding mill No 2 is a post-medieval industrial monument located in Cornwall, England. The site represents the substantial stone-built infrastructure associated with tin and copper mining operations that characterised the Cornish landscape from the sixteenth century onwards. The grinding mill would have been employed in the processing of mineral ores, utilising water power to crush and refine extracted material for further smelting. Such mills formed essential components of the broader mining economy that sustained Cornwall's mineral extraction industries during the early modern and industrial periods.
