South of Waterford, just south of Lackenroad is (was) a star shaped fort. Had the building of the Waterford Outer Ring Road any effect on this fort? What is the name and history of this fort?

There is also a similar fort in cork. It is the site of the Garda barracks on the aptly named Barrack street. It is from the 16th century i believe.Trouble, Trouble, I tried to chase trouble but its chasing me.

Its a work in Progress. The Garda station only occupies the house straight up from the arch,and the upper floor. The rest are private houses, the property of the Dept of Justice.
OPW are currently renovating the walls. They used to have tours of the walls before the work started.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
