The National Monuments Service's description
'Old Windmill' depicted on the 1838 ed. OS 6-inch map, annotated as 'Windmill (in Ruins)' on current edition. No surface remains visible of windmill on Digital Globe aerial photograph. The annotation of the windmill as an 'Old' structure in 1838 suggests that this mill may have been built prior to the 18th century.
