Eyreville, mill in County Galway

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Freestanding circular-plan windmill, built c.1780. Roofless. Rubble limestone walls. Enlarged irregular door openings to east and west. Slit window with rubble stone lintel to upper level. Set within demesne lands of Eyreville.

Although now ruinous and roofless, this is a visual reminder of the industrial heritage of South Galway. One of several circular-plan windmills in the county, this is situated on an elevated site, and makes an eyecatching landmark north of Kiltormer village.
