Possible Mill Mound 500m W of Icehouse Spinney
The site of a possible windmill mound, a mound of earth on which a windmill would have stood, of Medieval or Post Medieval date. Alternatively, the mound might be a round barrow. It is situated 600m east of Smith's Spinney.
1 There is an undoubted sepulchral mound, once opened by Mr Bloxam. It has no encircling ditch.
2 The labourers employed missed the deposit and a few fragments only of ancient pottery were found. 1968: This is almost certainly a large, badly-mutilated windmill mound. There is a ramped tail to the E and much disturbed evidence of a ditch elsewhere. The top of the mound has three depressions, probably ‘beds’ for a post mill or – less likely – the excavations of Bloxam.
