Notes about this historic site
1 On a plan of Kenilworth Castle and its environs by the Reverend E H Knowles, 1872, a bank is shown on the S side of the Finham Brook, which extends along almost the entire length of Abbey Pool. The mound appears to be the sole remaining portion. 1951: Dimensions – 20m E-W, 14m N-S, height 2m.
3 More than anything the mound resembles that for a windmill, but there is no record of a windmill here. Part of the N side of the mound has been eroded by the stream.
