Cloyne RIC Barracks Attack, 1920

The Landscapes of Revolution Project are currently working with Cork County Council on a project to map the archaeological landscape of the 8 May 1920 Cloyne RIC Barracks Attack in East Cork. The operation saw Volunteer companies combine to undertake different tasks as they sought to successfully capture the RIC station in the centre of the town. The map that was produced for this project is available below (click on images to enlarge).
