This feature is not marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and it is situated on a SE-facing slope. Only the S portion of this conical tower survives to the top of fourth floor with opposing doorways (ext. diam. 8.7m; int. diam. 6.85m at base). This is an industrialised pre-fabricated mill imported from the United States and built c. 1890 (Colfer 2004, 57, Fig. 46 E).
