Some history www.vladi-private-islands.de/en/island-archive/archive/eu... “In the late 1700's a telegraph watchtower and keep were built there by the coastguard to keep vigil for a French invasion that never happened!”
John Spooner said:
Morning Chronicle - Saturday 17 August 1805:
We understand that the great chain of signal towers; or defensible. posts, building on the Coast of Ireland, under the inspection of Major-General PAYNE, are nearly finished, and that the following are already complete, viz. in the County Kerry, Bolus Head,' Brea Head, Great Blaskets, Sybil Head, Ballydavid head, and Kerry Head.---In the County Clare, Knocknagarroon, Hags Head, Baltard, and Cahircrohane, or Loops Head.-That on Mutton 'Island, situated also in the County Clare, between Hags 'Head and Baltard, building by -Mr. Maher, will be complete in a few days. Hags Head is occupied by a detachment under a Naval Officer. ' The Post on Hog Island, in the River Shannon, when built, will complete the' chain of defensible guard houses in Limerick District.
Do any of the other watchtowers mentioned still exist, I wonder?
John Spooner said:
A couple of decades later, Southern Reporter and Cork Commercial Courier - Tuesday 08 August 1826
The signal tower, houses, and ground, occupied by the coast-guard on Mutton-Island, County Clare, are ordered to be let by the Commissioners of Customs.
