What is recorded here

Freestanding circular-plan windmill, built c. 1800. Random coursed limestone walling. Square-headed window openings and door openings to east and west, stone relieving arch to door openings. Located on a rising to the north of Termonfeckin.
The surviving base of this windmill is a reminder of past industrial practices when natural resources, in this instance wind, were employed in milling. Buildings such as this are becoming rare in the Irish countryside, further increasing the importance of this well-built structure.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
