According to Kerrigan (1995, 168) construction of the Dublin area Martello Towers and their batteries commenced in 1804 under the supervision of Colonel Benjamin Fisher of the Royal Engineers and by December 1805 all towers were armed and complete. Kerrigan (ibid.) recorded that; 'Twelve towers were constructed north of Dublin: each tower mounted one 24-pounder, apart from the tower on Ireland's Eye with two 24-pounders. No batteries were constructed with these towers'. Located at the end of Balcarrick Road, close to the water's edge at the north end of Donabate beach. The tower was in the charge of the Royal Artillery until at least 1830. John King rented the tower from 1896 and bought it in 1909 (Bolton et al. 2012, 163). It is a squat, cylindrical tower with a rendered finish. It has machicolation in place over the door and two string courses encircling the top. West facing door at ground level-some stone has been pulled out to accommodate metal door. Chimney and additional concrete blocks have been added to roof. Large south facing window infilled with concrete.
