What is recorded here
Freestanding three-stage round-plan windmill, built c.1750, standing in field. Now roofless. Rubble limestone walls with slightly projecting eaves course. Opposed pointed segmental doorways having rubble voussoirs. Square-headed slit window openings to upper floors.
This windmill is typical of the North Galway group and is in relatively good condition. It is an important relic of the tradition of using wind to generate energy for the grinding of corn into flour and would thus have had significant social value.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
