Site overview
Eye had former post mill sites associated with corn milling, including Mortimer's Mill and other mills around the town. The supplied location is not the conserved Mortimer's Mill roundhouse site and no surviving tower, roundhouse, or base has been confirmed at this position. The site is therefore treated as a former post mill site only.

History
Eye was associated with post mills used for corn milling. Surviving and recorded mill remains in the area include Mortimer's Mill, where conserved roundhouse walls with lozenge-shaped piers survive at a separate location. The site represented here is a post mill site only.
No construction date, working history, closure date, machinery inventory, or surviving mill structure has been established for this specific position. Its present character is therefore limited to a former windmill site rather than standing mill remains.
