A flat topped mound, 80ft in diameter and surrounded by a 10ft wide ditch, was excavated in 1949. The mound, topped with a 4in layer of charcoal, was 4ft 6in high from the bottom of the ditch. Pottery finds (mainly Nottingham green glaze) suggests a constuction date of not earlier than 1250, but more probably nearer c 1450. Traditionally the site of a mill, but no traces of a building were found. The layer of charcoal suggests its use as a beacon. (1)
