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).
