What is recorded here

Old Windmill stood in County Kildare before the 18th century, grinding local grain until ruin took it. By 1838 the survey marked it as old and broken, yet people still recognized the shape of its work. The mill has vanished from the ground entirely, leaving only memory and the suggestion that wind once turned its life.

'Old Windmill' depicted on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map, annotated as 'Windmill (in Ruins)' on current edition. No surface remains visible of windmill on Digital Globe aerial photograph. The annotation of the windmill as an 'Old' structure in 1838 suggests that this mill may have been built prior to the 18th century. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 6 November 2018
