Description
Information from NRHE
The NRHE records this feature as a Bronze Age ring ditch but this has now been re-interpreted. <1>
Cropmark of a windmill (originally interpreted as a ring ditch with a central pit). The cross trees are clearly visible on the aerial photographs. This mill is not mentioned in Farries <2> so therefore is presumably gone before 1700 or possibly moved to one of the other locations in Bradfield . <1> - <10>
