  Description

  On 2nd Oct. 1601 Spanish force occupied Kinsale town; by 4th Nov. English force occupying high ground around town to begin siege which lasted to 12 Jan 1602; Irish force defeated by English at Battle of Kinsale on 3rd Jan. (Mulcahy 1968, 54-67). Contemporary plans (O'Neil 1940, plate 8; Hayes-McCoy 1964, plate 13) show siege works and batteries erected by English on high ground around town; these appear to have taken the form of rectangular earthwork entrenchments with corner bastions. O'Neil's (ibid,114) survey of these siege works found traces only of 'Sr. Jaratt's Horseis' Sconce ... some 210 yards WSW of Cappagh House ... most of its outline is just traceable as a hollow in the fields on each side of the road and its eastern bastion exists as a formless lump in the field. It seems to have been 90 to 100 yards square.' This area now in pasture with no visible trace of features described by O'Neil; some c. 250m further W on N side of road is field known as 'Camp Field' but again no visible trace of fortifications. On high ground to N of town small townland of Camphill location of main English camp; again no visible trace of fortifications. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
