A probable post medieval windmill mound is visible on historic aerial photographs and remote sensing data and was mapped as part of the Aylesbury Vale Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18604). Located in the corner of a field about 735 metres NNW of Upper Barn Farm and centred at SP 71557 18729, a slightly subcircular mound is about 28.5 metres in diameter at its widest point. Surrounding the mound is a ditch that varies in width from 1.5 metres to 8 metres. On aerial photographs taken in 2023 and recent remote sensing data, the earthwork feature remain extant (7-9 ).
