A ruinous stone tower, about six metres high and tapering from about six metres in diameter at its base to about 4.5 metres at its present top, marks the site of a former, possibly eighteenth-century windmill. There are two entrances and two small windows (one blocked) in the two-foot-thick rubble walls, which were formerly plastered externally, as well as a long low opening in the remaining part of the upper storey as well as beam-slots for the upper floor.
