What is recorded here

Rocque’s 1760 Map of County Dublin shows a ‘Windmill’  on the N side of a road, opposite the ‘The White Hart’ inn (DU005-054----).  On this map the windmill is shown as a tower with a conical-shaped roof and four sails, standing on top of a hill (Rocque 1762).  The first edition of the OSi 6-inch map shows a ‘Pigeon Ho.’ at this location.  It is possible that the windmill was converted into a dovecote or pigeon house in the late 18th or early 19th-century.  Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien
