Summary

Aerial photography from 1946 and 1973 recorded a hedged trackway leading to what may be a mill mound. The mound is around 20m circular and has a ditched enclosure. However a site visit in 1998 recorded that the trackway was now under a farmyard and the mound was partially under a new building.
