FORTIFICATION: EBRINGTON BARRACKS in Clooney

Ebrington Barracks stands in Clooney as an eighteenth-century military fortification, preserved under scheduled protection. The site still carries the shape of soldiers and weapons, even when every wooden beam has rotted into soil. Men may have marched past these foundations during border wars, hearing cannon fire or waiting for orders that never came. The land remembers the weight of boots and the smell of gunpowder long after the buildings vanished.
