Windmill (in Ruins)

On a rise in undulating farmland. Well-preserved shell of a three-storey circular windmill (D 3.5m, H 7.8m) with a basal plinth. There are opposing doorways at E and W and several windows survive. The mill was built on a level platform (D 30m), around which faint traces of an enclosing bank are visible.
