What is recorded here

Kilsallaghan was recorded as having a windmill in 1613. It was listed as belonging to St George Lane in 1666 and drawn on Rocque's map in 1760. The mill no longer stands above ground, but it left a shape in the town that still turns when the wind changes.

The earliest reference to a windmill appears in an Inquisition dating to the 4th of January 1613 (Hardiman 1826, Clinton, M.2005, 44). In 1666 it was listed amongst the possessions of St George Lane (D'Alton 1838). It was depicted on Rocque's map 1760. Not visible at ground level.
