Freestanding two-stage round-plan windmill, built c.1750, having opposite doorways, and standing at edge of ridge overlooking small valley. Roofless. Slightly battered rubble limestone walls. Square-headed doorways and windows with roughly dressed limestone voussoirs. No internal workings survive.
This windmill is one of a small group in North Galway. It is of industrial heritage interest and was an important structure in the district as it was used to grind corn into flour. Its siting, overlooking a small valley, enhances its visual interest.
