Seapoint Martello tower - entrance
Seapoint Martello tower - entrance
Seapoint Martello tower was one of the 74 towers built along the coastline of Ireland at the beginning of the 19th century to guard against a possible French invasion. Many had a battery or fort attached. Entrances to the towers were located at a height for security purposes. Overhanging the entrance, machicolations with holes in the floor to shoot or dro things on unwanted callers, can clearly be seen in this image. Behind the machicolation was a "murder hole", a square opening in the floor above the entrance, likely to have been used for hoisting ammunition or equipment up to the gun platform.
