Description : 1816. Tower type. 6 storeys. Stone rubble. <1>
Also called Melin y Borth. A windmill built in 1816 by the Paynter family. It was the tallest mill on Anglesey, standing over 60ft high, and was built of brick, with the ground floor only of stone. It stopped working in the early years of the 20th century, and is now an empty shell, with only some timbers remaining of the cap frame. Archival and map evidence shows that a number of buildings once clustered around the mill, although these have now all been demolished. (Davidson 2003)
