Notes about this historic site

1 The Bank, Butlers Marston, is circular and rises somewhat abruptly from the surrounding ground. It is suggested that this is an early windmill mound. It does not give the impression of being a tumulus.
3 This mound has a flat top and there are no traces of a ditch. It has been mutilated by the insertion of a water tank. Probably a windmill mound.
4 Its topographical location and its small size (outer diameter 23m) and flat top (11.7m diam) strongly suggest it to be a mill mound.
5 Photographed in 1982.
