Coflein records that this windmill tower dating from 1825 was formerly known as Melin Du. It comprises a tall circular tapering tower of five storeys. There used to be an adjacent barn and kiln with a cart shed. The mill was no longer working in 1890. In 1981 the ancillary buildings were demolished and a modern house was built on the site, incorporating the tower. It is depicted and annotated as Old Windmill on the Ordnance Survey 25 inch County series mapping of 1878. An older windmill tower is nearby. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4632313
