Only the southern half of the conical structure survives, rising to the height of the fourth floor, with two opposing doorways still visible in the remaining masonry. It measures 8.7 metres in external diameter and 6.85 metres internally at the base, dimensions that suggest a substantial working mill in its day. What makes it genuinely unusual, however, is not its ruined condition but its origins: this was no locally built structure, but a prefabricated industrial mill imported from the United States.

The tower was erected around 1890, placing it in the final decade of a century that had largely moved on from wind-powered milling in favour of steam. Its American provenance, documented by historian Billy Colfer, points to a late-nineteenth-century trade in factory-made mill components that could be shipped and assembled on site, a form of agricultural industrialisation more associated with the American Midwest than with the Wexford countryside. The fact that it does not appear on the 1839 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map confirms it as a late addition to the landscape, built well after the great era of Irish windmill construction had passed. That a landowner in County Wexford was still investing in wind-powered milling at that date, and sourcing the structure from across the Atlantic, makes this fragment of tower considerably more interesting than its partial survival might initially suggest.
