In ancient times, along the valley of the river Biferno, the activity of milling and the production of felts for domestic use was flourishing; these activities were carried out in several mills and galloys located along the banks of the river.
In the territory of Baranello, in contrada Coscia da Ponte, there is one of the best preserved plants of the Molise region and one of the very few not to have been transformed into a hydroelectric power station. The relevant historical, architectural and demo-ethno-anthropological interest, represented by this mill, has led the property to be placed under the protection of the Superintendence of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of Molise by ministerial decree of 13 September 1990.
A decorated stone bears the date 1872, the year of a possible renovation, since according to the documents of the State Archives of Campobasso the mill existed at an earlier date.
