What is recorded here

Situated on top of Windmill Hill. The site comprises a circular tower that rises to two storeys. It is built of randomly coursed masonry (int. diam.2.8m, wall T 1.20m). There are segmental arched doorways in the NE and SW, which are rebated with bar holes. A fireplace lies to the W on the ground floor. In the SE is an inter-mural pointed recess. Stone stairs lead to first floor. The interior is lit by plain rectangular opes in NE and S sides. This windmill is probably 18th century in date but it occupies the site of an earlier windmill referred to in 1413 AD. (D'Alton 1838, 677). Compiled by Geraldine Stout Uploaded on: 18 January 2013
