Abstract:		 Archaeological recording of a medieval windmill mound at Manor Farm, Humberstone, Leicester (SK6285 0642), was undertaken between April and June 2007 by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) in advance of development by Gateway College. Excavation revealed the mound to consist of two deposits of clay, both associated with a phase of the mounds development. A recut ditch encircled the mound and originally acted as quarry for the mound soils. Beneath the mound well-preserved timber cross-tree foundations survived in-situ within a construction slot cut into the natural clay. Pottery recovered from the construction slot and primary fills of each ditch cut indicated a 12th-13th century period of use for the mill. Later pottery in the final ditch fills suggest the mill ditches had become largely infilled by the 17th-18th century.
