Summary

A post medieval windmill is depicted at this location on a mid-18th century estate map. A mound visible at the same site, as an earthwork on visualised lidar data, is almost certainly related to the windmill site. As the lidar survey was flown relatively recently (2018) it is probable that the earthwork still survives.
