Post mill mound 150m north west of Brynards Hill Farm is a raised earthwork in Wiltshire that represents the site of a post mill, a type of grain mill common in medieval and early modern England. The monument consists of a mound that once supported the wooden superstructure of the mill, which would have rotated on a central post to catch the wind. Post mills of this form were constructed from the medieval period onwards, typically from the twelfth century, and remained in use through subsequent centuries. The earthwork survives as a testament to the agricultural infrastructure and milling technology of rural England during the medieval and post-medieval periods.
