The brick tower is the remains of an 18th century windmill. The site was an obvious one, on the top of the escarpment on the edge of Plumstead Common where it would make the most of the prevailing wind. The tower is grade 2 listed (listed building no. 200464) and appears to have been converted to residential use.
