What is recorded here

Ballybutler is a small Irish townland where a forgotten windmill once stood, its precise location lost to time. The Down Survey mapped the area in 1655-6, capturing a moment when human hands shaped the landscape before memory faded. What remains is a ghost of purpose, a reminder that even ordinary places hold stories waiting to be recovered.

The Down Survey (1655-6) Barony map shows a windmill located towards the centre of what appears to be Ballybutler townland. The precise location of this windmill is not known.
