Water mill

Situated on flat reclaimed grassland with good views in all directions. No surface remains visible of any Horizontal watermill in area marked on six inch OS 6-inch map. Several old timber beams were visible in the field beside a drain running NNE-SSW across the field. There is a small stream located to the S of the site into which the drain enters. This drain is not indicated on the latest ed. OS 6-inch map. Horizontal watermill may have been discovered when drain was being cleaned up. The timber beams may have been dug out of the nearby drain and may have been associated with a watermill site. No paper file in SMR office, unsure where source of information about Mill came from.
