Description
Detached round-plan three-stage windmill, built c.1750. Now ruinous. Rubble limestone walls. Opposed camber-arch doorways with dressed limestone jambs, one opening having roughly dressed voussoirs, and other having lost its voussoirs and partly blocked with rubble. Square-headed window openings to upper stages, with stone lintels.
Appraisal
This windmill is part of the industrial heritage of the region. Although already ruinous by the late nineteenth century, it is a familiar landmark in the locality due to its roadside position and distinctive form. It occupies an elevated position overlooking Derryhiveny demesne.
