What is recorded here

Freestanding circular windmill tower, built c.1770. No longer used. Stands in a field. Random coursed stone walls with individual stones to parapet. Square-headed stone arched openings with larger openings.
This windmill tower stands proudly on an elevated sites known as Windmill Hill. It remains as a vestige to a past era when those within the community relied on the wind to grind their flour. Though missing its cap and sails, its circular form, constructed in limestone, is an unusual and attractive addition to the landscape which it overlooks.
