Tower

cfuserkildare · 2018-04-05 10:44:32

Hey folks, Just a quick question about a tower. Does anyone know anything about the tower out by Cappagh on the M4? Co-ordinates 53.413068, -6.755334 from Google Maps. Not on the Archaeology.ie Database so I am wondering if it is a recent construction? If not, then surely it should be on the Monument Database?

I believe it's the remains of an old windmill, tied to Cappagh House nearby.

The 25" OS map calls it "Windmill Stump"
