Floor 0 - Floor 1/2 Adit

We dubbed this Floor 1/2 because it was above Floor 0 - more recent research suggests that in fact this IS Floor 0, and the height of the Mill somewhat below is because Diffwys were in such a hurry to get the mill into work that they did not wait to build up the platform for it to the full height. Most odd - the tunnel was needed because Floor 0 lay within the combined Bowydd-Diffwys pit and it was not possible to have a tramway around the spur of the hill from workings to Mill as was done on floors 1, 2, 3 and 4 above.
