Very little remains today of Ballymullen Barracks, built around 1819. The area was the sight of several execution with most victims still buried in unmarked graves as was British policy from the 19th century on. The plaque below commemorates three Republicans, one of whom was a deserter from the British army, executed by Free State forces at Ballymullen following a firefight at Clashmelcon Caves in the final stages of the Irish Civil War.
That's not Ballymulen barracks. That's the old the old Tralee Gaol. That was the warderns residence. Or whatever you call the person who ran the gaol. The jail cells haven long been demolished
