Description
1. The oldest-known windmill on Anglesey, construction began on the 8th September 1737 and was completed on the 24th October 1738. In 1847, when advertised for sale, it had four pairs of stones. The cap and sails were blown off in the late 1890s and the tower remained derelict until 1964 when it was converted to holiday accommodation.

The cement-rendered, white painted tower has a flat roof and an external stair between the third and fourth floors and a viewing platform on top. An Anglesey runner stone forms a table in the adjacent garden.
