It is a small detail, but an evocative one: the mill had fallen out of service, its sails long gone, and the mapmakers recorded it as a landmark of the past rather than the working landscape.

The tower itself is a compact, purposeful structure, three storeys tall and standing roughly 7.5 metres high, with the slightly inward-sloping walls known as battered sides, a feature that gave windmill towers their structural strength against wind loading. The external diameter at the base measures 6.5 metres, narrowing inward to an internal diameter of 4.3 metres, and traces of an original external render still cling to the stonework in places. Granite was used throughout for the dressed elements: the surrounds of the opposing doorways on the east and west faces, and the rectangular windows on both upper floors. The floor levels were not carried on timber beams set into the wall but on corbels, projecting stone brackets built into the masonry at the north and south, a method that avoided the need for large timber members and kept the interior usable even as the wooden fittings decayed around them. A recessed ledge at second-floor level adds another layer of careful, considered construction. The mill dates to the nineteenth century and sits at the top of a north-west-facing slope, a position that would have caught the prevailing winds rolling in across the Wexford countryside.
