Summary
This is the site of a post medieval windmill, shown on Faden's map of 1797, which burnt down in the late 19th century. Trial trenching in March and April 2010 revealed a brick well which was probably contemporary with the former house on this site and a post-medieval or modern linear feature of unknown function.
