NHER 17674 (Monument record) - Possible medieval mill and settlement

CROPMARKS AT THIS SITE HAVE NOW BEEN DIVIDED UP INTO THREE RECORDS (NHER 38535, 38536, 38537)

17 July 1979. NAU air photography.
In front of Brumstead hall.

D. Edwards (NAU), 15 February 1981.

19 June 1996. NLA air photography.
National grid reference amended from original [1].
Further cropmarks located to the west of main site. These consist of a series of rectilinear enclosures. Reinterpretation of this site is possible. The cross in the centre of the ring ditch indicates its use as a postmill mound. The 'block' cropmarks to the immediate west of the mill are rectangular sunken features, possibly the location of buildings. These features also appear within the main enclosure to the west. This site may represent an area of medieval settlement and activity associated with the mill. Its location next to Brumstead Hall (NHER 22904), may suggest a relationship with the hall, such as an associated settlement.
