Old Windmill [NAT]
OS (GIS) MasterMap, July 2009.
(Location cited as NX 095 522). Windmill. A short tapering rubble tower. Donnachie suggests that it was the base of a turret post mill, which seems reasonable.
J R Hume 1976.
A round tower, possibly the base of a turret-post mill or a wind-driven scutch mill, stands on a low knoll 242m NE of Low Culgroat farmhouse. It is 3.3m high and measures 2.4m in diameter within a wall 0.55m thick; a doorway is located on the N side.
