Summary[edit]

Description

I know you all like when we have an "unidentified" photo for you to muse over, I strongly suspect you will be musing over this one for quite a while! It is nice to see a little colour on the stream for a change and it is quite a while since we had a Tilbrook photo, good luck...

While we thought we might finally have stumped the unstumpable group, [/photos/137378234@N07/ Padraig Laffan (nokadoe)] reminded us why we love LOVE this stream - and identified it as Drumgoff Barracks in the Glenmalure Valley area of County Wicklow. He even provided confirmation that it still stands. We have since learned that Drumgoff Barracks was built in 1803, in the years after the 1798 Rebellion, as part of a series of barracks intended to assist in controlling this relatively remote part of Wicklow. It was seemingly sold in the 1830s however, and used as accommodation for the Glenmalure's miners. I read in one source that it may now be part of a the nearby An Oige hostel. (But it is long since ruined, so you'd need more than a sleeping bag)...
