Windmill in Chapel

When he died in 1623 Richard Whitty possessed 180 acres at Ballyteige together with the castle (WX052-018001-) and windmill (Jeffrey 1979, 61-3). According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) a mill at Ballyteige was owned by Richard Whitty in 1640 (Simington 1953, 133, 163), and according to the Down Survey parish map (1656-8) of Kilmore Ballyteige then included what later became the townlands of Beak, Libgate and Chapel.

The western mill (WX052-019----) was built in 1836, so this eastern windmill is more likely to have been an early mill. It is situated on a level landscape, but had been removed by 1925 (OS 6-inch map). It is not visible at ground level in a lawn.
