Coastal Battery, Dalkey Island

June 20, 2023

Description

The gun battery (SMR DU023-029011-) on Dalkey Island was constructed in 1805 as part of a series of structures along Dublin’s coastline to defend Dublin Bay during the Napoleonic wars and is accompanied by Martello Tower no. 9. It would have housed soldiers and artillery men stationed on the island and three 24-pounder guns which would have been used to defend the area of Dalkey Sound and the passage between the island and the Muglins.

The battery was constructed in three phases with the main walls, gun platforms and the officer and soldiers’ rooms added initially followed by the addition of a munitions store, and finally a newer larger magazine and privy between 1843 and 1852. The site was abandoned by the military in 1886. The site is now owned by Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.

The site was recorded using a combination of terrestrial laser scanning and terrestrial trial and UAV SfM photogrammetry.
