Monument described in 1980 as ‘the ruins of a small circular stone built structure (int. diam. 3.1m; wall T 0.8m; H c. 4m) with a solid stone built projection (L 1m; Wth 2.9m) on the SE. The structure shows evidence of having had 2 floors but its original height is uncertain. There is a rectangular doorway (Wth 0.8-0.9m; H 1.68m) on the N, this narrows in width from bottom to top. There are 2 narrow window opes (Wth 0.33-0.28m; H 0.64m) in the ground floor both with internal splays and both narrowing in width from bottom to top, one on the NE and the other on the NW. There is a small fireplace (Wth 0.88m; H 0.8m; D 0.57m) in the NE above the ground floor window and a window on the WSW, this is wider than the windows on the ground floor but its stop is missing. The structure is built of small blocks of undressed limestone with small flat stones also laid in regular course and bonded with a rough mortar. The windmill is just S of a narrow stream or drain in boggy land, on the edge of Coolnagun bog’ (SMR File 04/03/1980).
