File:Camp, Birr, Co. Offaly (35888619112).jpg
Various contributors (including [/photos/swordscookie/ swordscookie] and [/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ beachcomberaustralia]) confirm that this is Crinkill Barracks in Birr. [/photos/gnmcauley/ Niall McAuley] suggests that it may have been captured from "upon high" nearby. Flickr user [/photos/28847952@N06/ Stephen Callaghan] captured some similar photos of the barracks very recently, and has since confirmed that this was the main gate, and likely captured from atop the barrack block. Stephen tells us that the camp-area was known as the "Fourteen Acres", and "was used for parades, training and sports"....
