Summary
The field here was named as Mill Furlong on an 1860 enclosure map, which may suggest a mill once stood here. It was initially felt that this could be Whiscard’s Mill but this stood elsewhere (NHER 23312 and NHER 5787). As such there is no record or trace of a windmill here.

Full description
Site of wind mill ?
This field named on enclosure map 1860 as Mill Furlong. Suggested by [1] as more correct site for Whiscard's Mill than site NHER 5787 as previously recorded.
See NHER 5787 and documentation in that file.
E. Rose (NAU) 2 February 1987.
Mr Apling states Whiscard's Mill was at site NHER 23312 from 1841 onwards, and possibly NHER 5787 before that or the same site; never on this field. No record of a mill here - just a field name because e.g. one could see the mill from here? Or memory of unrecorded medieval mill?
E. Rose (NAU) 11 February 1987.
Source notes, this is probably a mistake. This plot is called
Houndhill in 16th century documents, and Mill Furlong is the plot at
site 31908 in 1875; it may be the latter mill to which some of the
references relate.
Comp. E.Rose 25 July 1996.
