Monument record 1442/0/2 - Earthen Circle in Windmill Wood.

Earthen Circle in Windmill Wood. Suggested as a dwelling of Romano- British miners (1). OS describe this circle as a circular depression. 11m in diameter and o.6m deep, which is incorporated in a spoil heap. It is probably associated with former mining (2). According to (4), this is a earthen circle in Windmill Wood but it is not shown on any maps. In part of the bank, there is burnt brick and coal incorporated although this may be a later contamination of the site.Similar to the 'Seven Firs' monument but much smaller and with out trees (4).
