Black windmill first visible on the Ordnance Survey 1877 edition [1] and recorded as used for corn. Three buildings and the windmill were absent from the site on the Ordnance Survey 1946 edition [2].
Possible structures are shown on the site on the OS drawing of 1797. The windmill is first certainly visible on the Tithe Map of 1841(?). It had been demolished by the time of the 2nd edition 25" OS mapping, c.1900.
