Site Type (preferred type first) : Post Medieval WINDMILL

Description :
A post mill is shown on John Speed's map of Beaumaris (1610) on the mount north of Beaumaris. No other map shows a mill in this location, although the Lewis Morris chart of 1736 does show a building at the northern edge of the mount, but this is not depicted as a mill, and appears too far north of the hill to be a suitable site for a mill. In 1327 Einion ap Ieuan was granted a licence to build a windmill on the Mill Hill by Beaumaris (Carr 1982, 248). (Berks and Davidson, 2006)
