The rim edge is somewhat worn, with indistinct features and a few tiny craterlets along the edge. The interior floor has a ridge of material protruding inwards from the southern inner wall, but is otherwise marked only by a number of tiny craters.

Mills (Surrey cricketer) refers to a noted English cricketer of the mid-18th century who played for the famous Chertsey Cricket Club and for Surrey. He was principally a bowler.

Mills' career probably began in the aftermath of the Seven Years' War and he was certainly active until the 1781 season. He was recorded in 10 first-class matches after cricket's statistical record began in 1772 but by then it is believed he had already been playing for several seasons.

Mills played for All-England teams as well as for Surrey.

Mills (first name and dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played in first-class cricket for Kent during the 1740s. He is recorded in cricket's second-oldest surviving scorecard playing for Kent against an All-England Eleven at the Artillery Ground on Monday, 18 June 1744. He scored six runs and may have taken one or more wickets. Kent won by 1 wicket.

As Mills had established his reputation by 1744, he must have been active for some years previously and his career probably began in the 1730s. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports and there are no other references to Mills. He was possibly the brother of John Mills, a noted bowler who also played in the All-England v. Kent match.
