History
Early C19 or later C18 windmill tower, built for the Dale castle estate. Marked on the 1847 Tithe Map.

Windmill tower. Whitewashed rubble stone circular tower, walls battered in. Roof is not conical but with curved hipped ends and short ridge. Eroded metal-sheet cladding on timber. NNE door with slab lintel, blocked S door. Small square upper opening WNW.
Interior
Floored interior, blocked windows or wall recesses first floor NW and NE, one heavy beam across. Pine roof structure.
