Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Mound in grounds of house called 'Throes', not marked on Chapman and Andre map at all. It is a possible mill mound. Large size and height - possibly post medieval. <1>
A post mill for the milling of cereals. Moved to it's present site in 1875, it continued work until 1913. Since then, the building has been converted into a house. <2>
Not a windmill mound – it is the earthen mound over a covered reservoir which serves the house and farm. Bits of the brickwork of the reservoir are visible in the sides of the mound – probably early 20th century in date.

2025 note: there is no source for the above statement. The windmill is not marked on OS maps. It could be either a windmill mound or a covered reservoir.
