Hob Uid: 320010
Location : Nottinghamshire Gedling Lambley
Grid Ref : SK6317045680
Summary : Probable windmill mound, believed to date to about 1450, originally surrounded by a wide ditch although this is no longer visible, mound has been damaged by a mechanical digger, excavated in 1949.
More information : SK 63174568 Round Hill (NAT). (1) Classified as Castle Mount. (2) A flat topped mound, 80' in diam and surrounded by a 10' wide ditch, was excavated in 1949. The mound, topped with a 4" layer of charcoal, was 4'6" high from the bottom of the ditch. Pottery finds (mainly Nottingham greenglaze) suggests a construction date of not earlier than 1250, but more probably nearer c. 1450. Traditionally the site of a mill, but no traces of a building were found. The layer of charcoal suggests its use as a beacon. (3) The mound still survives but is now reduced is diameter to 18.0m having been mutilated about most of its perimeter by a mechanical digger. The surrounding ditch no longer exists, and the field about is arable. The description of windmill mound seems most apt. (4) SK 631 456. `Round Hill'. Scheduled no. NT/164. (5)
