(NJ 5601 6571) Windmill (In Ruins) on site of Tumulus (NR)
OS 6" map, (1938)
On the site of a now ruinous windmill over-looking Sandend Bay, stood up till the year 1760, a circular mound of stones 14ft high and 60 feet broad. Beneath it was found a stone cist enclosing bones alongside of which was a deer's horn.
Anon 1884; OSA 1791-9.
No trace now remain of the cairn on which the remains of the mill now four storeys high, stand. From the evidence in Anon (1884) it is probable that the mill was built shortly after 1760.
