A windmill is depicted on Petty's (1685) map of county Longford. It appears to be the same one that is shown on the Down Survey (1655-6) maps of Longford barony and Clongish parish (NLI, MS 719). On the parish map it is depicted as a circular tower, with a conical roof and four sails, standing on a low rise or mound. Its precise location has not been identified. The parish map would suggest it was located in Carrickmoyragh townland but the barony map suggests either Carrickmoyragh or Prucklish townlands (Mimnagh 2010, 384).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
