The thatched windmill in the small village of Tacumshane (Irish: Teach Coimseáin) was built in 1846 and was in operation until 1936 making it the last windmill in the Republic of Ireland to work commercially.
In 1952 it was restored and placed under monument protection.
In medieval times, the flat and windy landscape of South Wexford was dotted with these unusual structures.
