Full Description

Site of post mill. Three sides of small , irregular, sub circular/rectangular ditch/moat, open on N side, circa 20m internal diameter. Shown on 1880s and later OS maps. Circa 35m back from Mill Road (to N).
Probably same site as post mill marked on OS 1st edition map of 1838 (gone by 1800s)(S1)(S2)(S3). The latter sources cite TM 035 673 as location (probably too far E). Tithe map needs checking to clarify precise location.
