The National Monuments Service's description
This was classified in the SMR (1987) as ‘Mill’ as a mill is marked roughly at this location on a Grand Jury Map (1809-19). It was classified in the RMP (1996) as ‘Earthwork’ based on fieldwork carried out in 1987 where no mill was identified but some earthworks were described. It is possible that the earthworks are the result of quarrying activity. The precise location of the mill, which possibly dates to the 18th century, is unknown.
