The Forgotten Defenders: Pillboxes of the Shannon Estuary

Pillboxes are small concrete structures that were built to help defend Ireland against invasion by hostile forces. They would have provided protection from small arms and machine-gun fire, and their wide narrow openings would have allowed the defenders to monitor enemy movements.
AMS are providing archaeological services to Limerick City and County Council and Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) on the Foynes to Limerick Road (including Adare Bypass) in County Limerick.
Within this project, AMS are conducting archaeological investigations on part of the pillbox network installed during World War Two to help defend the Shannon Estuary, the Foynes Transatlantic Airbase, the Ardnacrusha Hydroelectric Power Station, and the population centres of Ennis and Limerick.

Archaeology is a curious subject. A science often merited with an Arts degree. We measure and sample everything to generate facts. We put forward a hypothesis and test it with these facts. There is, however, always room for interpretation, imagination, even error, because objects are not found, they are uncovered and reviewed by a human being. Throughout an excavation, various findings are reco...
