Local places.
A clearer picture.
County collections include places near their towns and villages, sometimes across a boundary. Each place counts once in the national collection.
How MyMap worksHow many forts are there in Ireland?
OpenStreetMap records 28 in the Republic, across 19 counties. That is how many the map has, which is not the same as how many there are: anything nobody has mapped is missing, and anyone can add it.
Which county has the most forts?
Cork, with 7, then Donegal with 4.
Do the county figures add up to 28?
No, and they are not meant to. A fort belongs to every settlement within twelve kilometres of it, so one near a county line is counted in both counties: 12 of them are. The figure in the heading counts each record once.
Which town has the most forts near it?
Carrigaline in County Cork, with 5 within twelve kilometres. That is what is near the town, not what is inside it.
Where does this come from?
The places and counts in this directory are based on OpenStreetMap records. Of 28 records in this category, 3 include opening hours, 2 include a phone number and 5 include a website. Individual place pages may add sourced visiting information. Check the venue for current details.
