The Signal Tower
'The tower's function was a station for passing urgent messages from its neighbouring stations west and east or from ships at sea by line of sight to Dublin Castle. While it was lightly guarded it could not long withstand any pounding from cannon fire. Luckily, it never came to that as the Napoleonic threat faded rapidly within a few years.'
