Summary

A post medieval windmill is depicted on historical maps and is visible as a structure on 1940s aerial photographs. The mound on which it stood is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs, and may also be visible as a slight earthwork on visualised lidar data from 2017. Given the recent date of the lidar survey, it is likely that this earthwork still survives.

The mound relating to the post medieval windmill described above is visible as a cropmark on aerial photographs (S3, for example). It may also be visible as a low, poorly defined earthwork on visualised lidar data from a survey flown in 2017 (S4). Given the recent date of the lidar survey, it is likely that this earthwork still survives.
