Notes and comments Located in 1998 edition of DERC’s Dorset Place Names - A supplement (p199) Windmill Hill Farm.
The grid ref given in the above record locates this farm to the west of Leweston Farm and NE of the village of Longburton - itself about 2.5 miles south of Sherborne. Just to the south of this location there is a knoll which would appear to be a potential windmill site (ST 633 133)
