Windmill for corn visible on the Ordnance Survey 1877 edition [1]. This site was not present on the Ordnance Survey 1899 edition [2] or on OS MasterMap dating to 2009 [3].

The windmill is shown on the OS drawing of 1797. It appears on the first edition 25" OS map but not on the 2nd. It therefore probably dates from the late 18th century and was demolished in the late 19th century.
