Description
Former military barracks, commenced c. 1800. Rubble stone boundary walls.

Square-profile rubble sandstone piers to north, now blocked up, having war department limestone marker. Pair of square-profile dressed limestone piers to south-west.
Appraisal
These former barrack boundary walls act as a physical reminder of the military presence which once contributed to the social, historical and economic development of Cobh. Solidly constructed, they retain interesting features such as the war department stone marker.
