Windmill shown - possible position marked, not accurate. (1)

Position corrected by (2).

A watching brief in 2014 recorded four shallow pit-like features which may have formed the footings for a post-mounted windmill; housing a wooden treadle that supported the upper parts of the windmill structure. The windmill building appears to have been robbed out. The series of pits had similar dimensions; typically 1.8 x 1.45m and 0.1m deep with rounded sides and flat bases. Each pit was filled with a loose yellow-grey clayey-sand containing inclusions of building debris; sub-angular limestone fragments, brick fragments, pieces of render, concrete fragments, mortar fragments and corroded iron debris.
