User:Ww2censor/Martello towers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I do not have the book mentioned below and the online information is quite scant though several towers are well written up, especially if they include Visitor's Centres or are well known. Others are quite hard to track down, so if anyone has the Irish Ordinace Survey maps it would be great to see what is shown as the surveys do show many towers but I only have my Co Dublin map here.

If you don't want to mess with my table, just make a note here, on what you have found to be extant with any notes on ruins too. Quite a few photos are available with cc licences if this turns into a decent article or part of the existing article Martello towers.
