Description
Freestanding eight-stage former windmill, built c. 1800, now in ruins. Circular plan, tapers towards top. Rubble stone walling, series of holes to fourth stage, possible evidence of walkway.

Appraisal
This windmill is an unusual survival within in an urban landscape. Probably related to the mill from which Mill Street, located to the north, gets its name, it is an important part of Dundalk's industrial heritage. Its high ruined walls form an important landmark within the townscape.
