The National Monuments Service's description
A windmill at Townparks in St. Michael of Feagh parish is marked on a 1772 map by Valency that is probably based on a missing Down Survey map (1655-6) (Hore 1900-11, vol. 5, 62). A working widmill is marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and a windmill in ruins is marked on the 25-inch map. It is sitauted on the playing field of the Christian Brothers School, but is not visible at ground level.
