Mill

In pasture, on a S-facing slope and adjacent to a stream. A millstone (diam. 0.56m) with a central perforation (diam. 0.09m), which was found by the landowner during land reclamation, indicates the presence of a horizontal-wheeled mill here. The landowner indicated the find spot as being immediately SE of the stream which is now infilled. A roughly triangular area in the NW corner of the field was originally cut off by a stream at N, W and E. The stream (long axis NE-SW) at E may have been a millrace.
