Monument record CDD 033 - Site of a Post Medieval post mill demolished in 1909.

`Large post mill with two storey roundhouse, built in 1810. It ceased work c. 1900 and was demolished in 1909. The foundations and part of the cobblestone fan track can be traced. There were four patent sails, two pairs of stones and a fantail' (S1).
Replaced (?) - post mill first mapped by Hodskinson in 1783 (S2)(S3).

2010: Fieldwork was carried out in an attempt to confirm the owner’s research indicating that this was the site of Knights Hospitallers’ manor of St John. Pottery from several test trenches around the 17th-century house confirmed medieval occupation. A secondary excavation took place on the site of two former windmills, looking for evidence of the Hospitallers’ own mill, known to have stood on their manor in 1338. Although the remains of 18th- and 19th-century mills were exposed, nothing of medieval date was found (S4).

Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2010 (S5).
