September 1976. Field visit.
The feature appears to be an irregular upcast of earth situated on level ground beside an ornamental lake. No evidence was seen on the ground or found from documentary sources to suggest a mill site, and the mound is probably the result of the extensive 19th century landscaping of Braxted Park. <3>
