A windmill is marked on the Down Survey parish map (1656-8) of Mayglass at Randalstown, which then included Silverspring townland. Its precise location is not known, but it is probably in what is today Silverspring townland.

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.
