Incherky

Island

What is recorded here

Incherky is an island in County Offaly, Ireland, where Keeloge Battery still stands. Built after 1815 to guard against Napoleon, the half-hexagon fort faced north and west with seven gun platforms. Its blockhouse hid a powder magazine below and living quarters above, while drawbridges crossed a dry moat. The island feels like a forgotten sentinel, watching water that no longer needs guarding.
