Appraisal
The remains of this windmill are a reminder of the industrial heritage of the area. Such mills were used to grind corn and were of importance to the local farming community. Located on an elevated and exposed site, this windmill was placed to take advantage of the stronger wind currents and is now an attractive focal point in the landscape.
