The windmill is from 1790, per the DIA. It was derelict from 1850.

From 1891 the Dingle light railway was running just the far side of the Mill and Windmill, as seen on the OS 25" map on GeoHive. I can't make out if it is present in this photo. If we could see just a little to the left... :D

@79549245@N06 It's obviously evidence of a worm hole... Something similar was seen in Scotland a while ago...http://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/8676667663/ This one appears to be in the sky, the Scottish one was engulfing a village... RUN!!!!

humphrysfamilytree.com/Blennerhassett/tralee.church.html The Church in Tralee has a long standing connection with the Blennerhassett family, and of course Blennerville vilage is named after Sir Rowland Blennerhassett, an English settler. @nlireland/5244641898/

Poor Sir Rowland! He's 5th generation in a row born in Ireland, yet still described as "an English settler". humphrysfamilytree.com/Blennerhassett/contents.html
