Square-headed window openings (upper stages) with rough hewn rubble stone lintels. Interior in ruins. Set back from road in unkempt grounds.
The shell of a windmill tower representing an integral component of the eighteenth-century industrial heritage of County Wexford [SMR WX042-077----]. Furthermore, an adjacent grain store (1882) continues to contribute positively to the group and setting values of a neat self-contained ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in a rural street scene.
