What is recorded here
Detached round-plan three-stage windmill, built c.1750. Now ruinous. Rubble limestone walls. Opposed camber-arch doorways with dressed limestone jambs, one opening having roughly dressed voussoirs, and other having lost its voussoirs and partly blocked with rubble. Square-headed window openings to upper stages, with stone lintels.
This windmill is part of the industrial heritage of the region. Although already ruinous by the late nineteenth century, it is a familiar landmark in the locality due to its roadside position and distinctive form. It occupies an elevated position overlooking Derryhiveny demesne.
