Windmill stump is a fragmentary remnant of a post mill located in the Ards Peninsula, County Down, Northern Ireland. The structure survives only as a substantial brick or stone base, representing the foundation or lower portion of what would have been an 18th or 19th century windmill, a common feature of rural agricultural landscapes during this period. The site demonstrates the historical importance of wind power for grain milling and other industrial processes in the region before the advent of steam power. Its designation within the Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Record reflects its value as archaeological evidence of pre-industrial rural economy and infrastructure.
