Information from (S1).
Possibly the "small black pot" reported in (S2) as having been found by [1] in 1971 and noted on (S3). This is listed in (S2) as being from ?Hunstanton, although it is noted that the locality of the find had not yet been ascertained.

7 July 1978. Site visit.
The watermill here has not been used since at least the early part of the 20th century. Only brick piers and one arch remain across river and these are apparently 19th century in date. To the south a ruined carrstone shed with skeleton of roof survives and this was formerly attached to mill.

7 April 1995
At this point the brick piers were removed from the river. Only the arch and shed left standing.

Bryant's map 1826 marks this as Windmill (sic) Inn rather than as a watermill.
