It is a three stage structure with battered, or sloping, walls of random coursed rubble stone. The ruin was consolidated c.1990
and made accessible to the public by the local community group. A panoramic view of 360deg of the South Roscommon landscape is
possible from the site at a vantage point of 430 feet above sea level. The building is unroofed, squat in appearance and has one
entrance door. Lobinroe Windmill is recorded on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage.
