Two post mill mounds 560m and 660m north west of St John the Baptist's Church is a pair of medieval earthwork remains located in Huntingdonshire. The sites represent the physical evidence of post mills, a significant form of grain processing technology that became prevalent in England from the twelfth century onwards. Each mound would originally have supported the wooden superstructure of a post mill, with the rotating building mounted on a substantial timber post set into the raised earthwork foundation. The survival of these two separate mounds suggests sustained milling activity across the medieval period in this locality, though the precise dates of their construction and abandonment remain uncertain without excavation.
