The probable site of two windmills on Lundy Island. The remains of two round towers are thought to be 17th or 18th century windmills. The tower with a diameter of 4.5 metres was almost certainly one. There is also documentary evidence for one.

Possible site of two windmills. Here exist the remains of what may have been the bases of two round towers which are thought to have been windmills of 17th or 18th century origin. There is a documentary reference of 1787 to the remains of a windmill. Suggested that, while such a power source was very likely to have been used on the island, it can be difficult to differentiate between the foundations of a hut circle and the remains of a later stone building. Other details: 101,054.
