1805 – Martello Tower, Sutton, Co. Dublin
A Martello Tower along the coast converted into a residence. Dublin’s coastline has Martello towers at regular intervals as coastal defence from the Napoleanic era. Originally each tower would have had a gun battery on the flat roof that could be rotated to cover a wide area. Raised extension to roof dates from 1990.
