Full Description

LiDAR Survey:

In the western part of the site the parallel ridges of medieval ridge and furrow can be seen. This small survival of the medieval field system is cut across by channels presumably representing part of the system of leats/races feeding the former mill.

Topographic Survey:

The location of apparent previous water courses as identified by the topographical survey is in general agreement with the location of the mill as proposed by the previous geophysical survey and by map regression. Three identified channels may represent different phases of mill leats or races that made a southwards return (a fourth channel) back to the main course of the river Erewash.
