Visit Notes

Sunday, 7th October 2001

There is really nothing to see of the fort here. The site is now a public park with a potato famine graveyard and a huge tower built in the middle of the fort. It is impossible to see any of the earthworks. There is a modern playground in one corner.

Very disappointing.
