Notes about this historic site
1 A ‘tumulus’ marked on the OS map N of Combe Abbey is of doubtful antiquity.
2 The siting on a small hill and the nearby farm suggest that this was a windmill. Recent building and ground clearance have removed all traces of the mound.
3 Included in gazetteer.
4 The mound may have been a feature in planned rides to the north of Combe Abbey during the 17th century.
