Military Hospital (in Ruins)

In Fermoy. Indicated on 1842 and 1902 OS 6-inch maps as T-shaped building, named 'Military Hospital', within 'Ordnance Ground', c. 200m NNW of military barracks (15197). Another building named 'Fever Ward' also shown within grounds to NE on 1902 OS 6-inch map. None of these structures survives, but high enclosing stone-built walls does, with two entrances, flanked by tall piers, on W side; both flanked by 'ordnance stone'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
