Martello Tower No. 9, Dalkey Island

May 25, 2023

Description

Dalkey Island Martello Tower (No. 9) (SMR DU023-029009-) is one of 27 Martello towers and 2 batteries which were constructed in the early 19th Century to protect the Dublin coastline from potential invasion from Napoleon and the French Army. The Martello tower is located on the western side of Dalkey island at its highest point and has a commanding view across from Sandymount in the north to Bray in the south and is accompanied by a three gun battery on the southern tip of the island.

The tower was constructed in 1804 -1805 from dressed granite ashlar masonry. Internally there was a single floor level that contained a gunner’s room and magazine. It was originally constructed without a doorway with access gained through a ladder secured to the roof platform which contained two 24-pounder guns mounted on the circular gun platform. In the 1850’s the tower was used by the Coast Guard and by 1886 all military personnel had evacuated the island.

The site was recorded using a combination of terrestrial laser scanning, terrestrial SfM Photogrammetry and UAV SfM photogrammetry (Trimble TX8 Scanner, Canon EOS 6D II & 24mm Lens, Phantom 4 UAV, Trimble GNSS, Reality Capture).

Islandhubbock Coastal Promontory Fort, Waterford

May 25, 2023

Description

Islandhubbock promontory forts (SMR WA032-046—-, WA032-047—-, WA032-028001-) lie around 300m east of Ballyvoyle Head in Co. Waterford. This area has the highest cliffs of the Copper Coast, with heights up to 70m. Nearby in the surrounding fields are early medieval raths or ringforts, and an ecclesiastical enclosures with ogham stones. The writing on one ogham stone from around the 5th century AD indicates the people who lived here are claiming to be descendants of a 1st-century BC King of Munster Nia Segaman.

The fort is very overgrown today but a hut site can be identified, and an underground passage called a souterrain that are usually dated to the early medieval period. This fort has at least three ditches and banks suggesting it is more important than many other forts along this coast due to the extra effort needed to construct and maintain and the impression it would have made to visitors. The height of Ballyvoyle Head made it a prominent landmark and a Napoleonic watchtower was built there in the early 19th century.

The site was recorded using UAV sfm photogrammetry (Phantom 4 UAV, Trimble GNSS, Reality Capture). Successive surveys have identified area of active erosion and accretion on the monument in addition to geophysical surveys which have revealed remains of sub surface structures.

Woodstown Coastal Promontory Fort, Waterford

May 25, 2023

Description

Woodstown promontory fort (SMR WA025-072—-) lies on the eastern side of Annestown Beach on the Copper Coast of Co. Waterford. The promontory fort has two banks and ditches, a causeway, and a possible hut site on Green Island offshore. Investigations by the CHERISH Project have dated the fort to the early Iron Age though the ditch continued to be dug out into the early medieval period. It has been considerably eroded into smaller islets and recent cliff slumping has been reported on the western side of the embankments. In the fields surrounding the fort, there is evidence of two standing stones and a fuluch fia, which may be contemporary with the fort though could date as far back as the Bronze Age, and much more recently a lime kiln was built above the beach.

Ballynarrid Coastal Promontory Fort, Waterford

May 24, 2023

Description

There are several promontory forts recorded around Ballynarrid near Bunmahon in Co. Waterford. The most significant is Illaunobrick (WA032-016001-), which is also known as Danes Island. The place name Illaunobrick for the means Island of O’Bric and the nearby sea stack of Templeovrick, means church of O’Bric. The names remember an important family group, the O’Brics who were early medieval kings in southern Waterford. Today, due to erosion, Illaunobrick is very difficult to reach and is almost a sea stack. This was an area of 18th-century lead and silver mining. The mining here has left adits in the cliffs, and possible shafts in the fields identified in the geophysical surveys. This mining has destabilised the cliffs increasing the erosion.

The site was recorded using UAV sfm photogrammetry (Phantom 4 UAV, Trimble GNSS, Reality Capture).
