Helvick Head Today, nothing remains of Lookout Post No. 19. The former building was probably located on the hill near Helvick Harbour. An old postcard suggests that there was a small building on the hill that could have been the lookout post. Some concrete fragments found in the ground there also indicate that the post was located at this site. Locals suspect that some of the concrete blocks from the lookout post were transported to the harbour after the war.
From this point, the coast guards had a view from Clonea Bay to Muggorts Bay and reported all activity in the area in their logbooks. The reports are now publicly available on the Irish Defence Forces website militaryarchives.ie.
