In Jack's Grove, Combs, is a bowl shaped, flat topped mound, with outer ditch, measuring some 30.0m. in diameter overall, the mound rising 1.0m. above ground level. There is a causeway across the W. side of the ditch and on the summit of the mound is a cruciform ditch approximately 0.9m in depth. It stands on the E. end of a ridge.
Although considered by Pevsner to be a motte there is no doubt that it is a Mill mound. Re-surveyed at 1/2500. (2)
