The Gatehouse website record for Nether Whitacre Windmill Hill

In the civil parish of Nether Whitacre. In the historic county of Warwickshire (Modern Authority of Warwickshire, 1974 county of Warwickshire).

A 'motte'. In 1961 ditch was fairly well preserved in places. The mound is located on Windmill Hill. 1967 the ditch had been ploughed away and there was no evidence to suggest that this was anything other than a windmill mound. 1976 the mound, situated on a north-east south-west ridge, measures, at ground level, 25m E-W and 20m N-S. There are traces of a surrounding ditch on the E and S. The summit, at 3m height, has been dug into from the N side to a depth of 1m. The situation would be equally admirable for a motte or mill. It is probable that the feature represents a mill mound modelled out of an existing motte. Although not far from the church there is nothing to suggest this site was ever a manorial centre.
