The shell of this stone-built windmill tower is situated in an industrial yard. It apparently stands to its full height, but all the openings have been bricked up and there is no access to the interior. The surroundings of the windmill have changed dramatically from those depicted on the 1983 edition of the OS 1:10,000 map.
