Freestanding ashlar masonry battery with blockhouse, constructed after c.1815. The front of the battery is of half-hexagon plan form. The battery is approximately 200 feet wide. The blockhouse's external wall away from the battery enclosure is formed into two splayed faces, forming an obtuse angle in plan. Within the battery, there are gun positions for seven front-pivoted traversing platforms. Guns were mounted on traversing platforms and fired over the broad parapet to the north and west. The end walls of the blockhouse contain musket loops at the lowest level. At the lowest level, at the same level as the dry moat in which it stands, were stores and the powder magazine. The upper level housed the gun battery for living accommodation and a staircase, in the thickness of the wall, leading up to the gun platform. Single window opening at each end of the blockhouse at first floor level. The entrance to the battery was originally by a drawbridge across a dry moat. A smaller drawbridge or timber gangway provided access from the battery to the doorway of the blockhouse. ## Ground and risks (Radon Risk Map of Ireland, EPA; Landslide Susceptibility Classification and LiDAR, Geological Survey Ireland) - Radon: at the centre of the townland of Incherky, about 1 in 10 homes in this area is likely to have high radon levels.
