A low mound approximately 20m in diameter with a flat top has been identified on recent lidar data (S3).
The mound is located approximately 30m to the southwest of the mapped location of this windmill (TF 6926 3088).
The form and location of the mound is consistent with the remains of a windmill, but further investigation is required to confirm this. The mound is located in a residential garden and could have been formed by other processes.
