| Abstract: |
Excavations at Great Linford on a site named as Windmill Hill on a 17th century map revealed the stone-packed trenches for the timber cross-trees of a post mill. The ditch for the tail-pole is also present. A 14C date in 13th century was backed up by a documentary reference of AD 1303, making this the earliest known post mill location in Britain. The type is briefly discussed: excavations on 'barrows' have often revealed the characteristic cross-trenches. |
