Millpond at SX755863 serving latterly the now ruined mill and possibly associated with the medieval mill. Excavated by machine in 1987 to clear out sludge and debris prior to reuse. Apparently stone (ashlar granite) lined throughout. Stones not disturbed by operation. Stone lining of millpond not visible at time of site visit.
