    Less a square than a branch in the road. No cars, telegraph poles, so very early. Building on left is likely Town Hall and Courthouse.

    Yes please create an album for the barracks of Ireland. They are of great historical significance and although some have deteriorated, far more of them have survived than in Britain. The tripods at one end of the parade square have been set up for a lesson/practice of aiming drill. Rifles were rested on a sandbag, or sometimes fitted to a simple movable clamp at the top of the tripod. The recruit or trained soldier would then manoeuvre the rifles aim by looking through the iron sights at a distantly positioned target. After he was satisfied a sergeant or other NCO would check the aim and correct if necessary. Then the process would be repeated until the instructor was satisfied. This training drill went back to the first general issue of rifles that required precise aiming when they replaced smooth bore muskets that did not (they were in essence pointed en-masse instead). NB. An interesting feature of Irish barracks is that proportionally far more of them had 3-storeys compared with those in Britain.
