Windmill in Ferskill, Mullingee, County Longford

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

What is recorded here

A land grant to Sir Francis Shane in 1612 included the ‘north cartron of Leitrom near Drohednegalliogh, which parcel of Leitrom contains 2 cart. half of the cart. of the Windmill near Granard' (Cal. pat. rolls Ire., Jas I, 245). The precise location of the windmill has not been identified. The stump of a windmill recorded on the Grand Jury map of Longford (1814) in 'Ferriskhill' (Ferskill) may be it or it may have been located in Mullinagee (Mimnagh 2010, 384).
