Roofless, 4-storey, battered circular shell of tower windmill. Rubble built, with red ashlar dressings. Original south-facing door now blocked; mid/later 19th century door faces north; other openings at each level all blocked. Flooring all removed.

Described as "ruins" on 1st end OS (1855); the north door may date from a restoration shortly after then. (Historic Scotland)
