This is the base of a former windmill. The stump of the windmill is about 20ft high, the mill is 20ft in diameter and the walls 3ft thick. Above one of the doors is a stone which reads "This mill was built by John Fitsimons Anno Domini 1813." John's name on his headstone in old Killaney graveyard was spelt Fitzzimons when he died in 1846 aged 93 years.
