LOP 12 Ballyconnigar Hill

Ballyconnigar Hill  Today, nothing remains of lookout post No. 12. The building collapsed into the sea, while the sand dune has been washed away over the last few decades. The Wexford coast between Cahore and Curracloe suffers from severe erosion caused by storms coming in from the sea. The former post was built on the highest point called Ballyconnigar Hill. Mostly locals worked here as coast guards and reported military activity in the air and at sea. Their entries in the logbooks are contemporary accounts of coastal observation from this point. The logbooks are now publicly available and can be viewed on the Irish Defence Forces website militaryarchives.ie.
