Nedging-with-Naughton, Nedging Road, Naughton Mill House (NDG 014, TM 0174 4958) during monitoring of ground works for a new dwelling at the site of a post type windmill of later Post medieval date that burnt down in 1909 the foundations of the brick built roundhouse and trestle pad bases were revealed and recorded with the latter being left in situ. While the post mill was in existence before 1824 the parish tithe map indicates that the mill house is of a post 1841 date and examination of the bricks and ceramic drains from the mill foundations point to it having been rebuilt in the mid 19th century. In addition a small number of stray medieval pottery sherds indicative of previous activity at the site were recovered.
