Description

The remains of a windmill, dating from the early 19th century, are located on Uphill Way. This structure is a circular one-storey tower made of limestone rubble. It features a round-headed doorway on the north side and a round-headed window on the south side, along with a crenellated parapet. The windmill was converted into an observatory in the late 19th century but is now in a derelict state.
