The Mount is a medieval windmill mound located approximately 670 metres south of Bleasby Grange in Lincolnshire, England. The earthwork survives as a distinctive raised platform characteristic of post-mill bases from the medieval period, likely dating to the 12th or 13th century when windmill construction became established in England. Such mounds served as the foundation for the wooden superstructure of post-mills, allowing the entire mill body to rotate on a central post to catch the wind from any direction. The site represents an important example of medieval agricultural infrastructure and demonstrates the technological adoption of windmills in the English midlands during the high medieval period.
