‘Windmill (in ruins)’

Windmill

What is recorded here

Jean Charles Caillére first reported the ruined tower windmill standing on a small hillock in County Meath. The 1836 Ordnance Survey map still shows its ghost, but the stones have vanished entirely. Whatever bread it ground or warnings it gave have disappeared with the brickwork, leaving only a hollow dip where the wind still turns nothing at all.
Situated on the summit of a small hillock. A tower windmill annotated as a ‘Windmill (in ruins)’ in italic lettering is depicted only on the 1836 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It is not extant and was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.    Compiled by: Michael Moore
