Wind Mill Stump

A windmill is marked on the Down Survey (1656-8) barony map of Forth at Castletown, and on the Down Survey parish map of Carne at Castletown, which was owned by Nicholas Codd in 1640 (Simington 1953, 306). A mill at Mogerdocke (Castletown) is listed in the sale of the Codd property to Col. Thomas Palliser of Great Island in 1712 (Cavanagh 1911, 255), and a windmill stump is marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map situated on a broad, low hill. It is not extant.
