Located on a prominent rise above the village of Skerries. Comprises a straight-sided cylindrical structure (int. diam.3.80m, c.12.2m h.) with diametrically opposed entrances at east and west. Lit by plain rectangular windows above doorways and on south side. A 'tower' windmill (cap alone turns), 4-sail (would have been canvas). Approximately 3 stone courses were added to the original structure and a concrete capping. The replica thatch and wooden beamed cap then added. There is a plinth at base (H 0.30m, W 0.20m) (Ní Ghabhláin, 1987). Shown in a circular enclosure marked 'Fort' on 1837 OS 6-inch map. A raised rounded bank surrounds the base.
