Undated mill mound, Mill Green (EHER 80522)

A mound, roughly circular and about 12.4m in diameter at its base with a diameter of 5.2m across its top, and standing to a height of 1.8 metres. It is thought to be a mill mound.

August 1988. Field survey. The mound is roughly circular about 12.4m in diameter at its base with a diameter of 5.2m across its top, it stands 1.8m in height. It is composed of gravel and sandy clay. Odd fragments of tile were seen in its make-up. The mound is well defined with a flat top, its NW side has partly been cut away probably by the fence line. The Eastern side of the mound protrudes partly into the garden of Bracken Cottage where it has been utilised as a rockery. A number of coniferous trees have been planted around its summit. It is probably a mill mound. <1> This is the mound referred to in EHER 735: There is a low mound in the front garden of Bracken Cottage (TL6401401183), shown on the OS map as a 'mound', but not depicted on earlier maps. It is possible that it is the mill mound that pre-dates the 18th century mill. <2>
