A mound or platform is identifiable on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 as an earthwork circa 67m by 45m across, to the south-west of Blanksmill Bridge.
The visible earthwork corresponds with plots depicted on the Tithe Map for Malborough listed in the Apportionments as house, court, orchards and marsh (plots 604-607).
The plots and associated structures are not depicted on the Ordnance Survey 25inch First Edition map.
The mound is interpreted as the site of a former settlement of possible medieval to post-medieval origin that was cleared or destroyed between circa 1840 and 1880, possibly the former Blanks Mill.
