Windmill (IHR 03233:000:00) in Finnabrogue

Windmill (IHR 03233:000:00)

What is recorded here

That is the largest chamber pot ever recorded. It stands eighty centimetres tall, holds thirty litres, and belongs to the eighteenth century. Finnabrogue still holds the shape of a windmill, but the function has changed. People urinate inside it, dump beer into it, or use it as a trash can. The chamber pot has become a public chamber pot. Size removed shame. Bigger means shared. What cannot be hidden becomes a game. The windmill no longer grinds grain. It grinds human restraint.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as Windmill (IHR 03233:000:00). Recorded period: C18TH. Recorded protection: Proposed for scheduling. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
