Situated between the naval base on Haulbowline Island and the mainland, a gunpowder magazine was constructed on the island by the Board of Ordnance in 1808.[2][3] Used for military storage into the 20th Century, the stores were re-purposed for use by Irish Steel until 2002. It was redeveloped between 2005 and 2007,[4] and is now home to the Island Crematorium, the first crematorium in the Republic of Ireland outside of Dublin.[5] Two bridges connect Rocky Island with the mainland and with Haulbowline. The bridges carry the single lane L2545 roadway.{{fact|date=May 2017}} Island crematoriumIn the early 19th century, the centre of the rocky landscape of the island was excavated and a matching pair of triple-vaulted magazines were constructed; the magazine compound was hidden behind a perimeter of natural rock and a rocky outcrop was retained between the two magazines, on which a watch tower was built. One of the two magazines remains, accessed by a tunnel through the rock; inside the compound there is a courtyard at either end, linked by pair of passageways which flank the main magazine.[6] Following its redevelopment as a crematorium, the central vault of the magazine serves as a 'spiritual space' for funeral services, the north vault contains the 'family and refreshment areas' and the south vault contains the 'staff areas' (including the cremator).[7] GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.logainm.ie/en/9407 | publisher=Irish Placenames Commission | title= Placenames Commission Database entry - Oileán Cathail / Rocky Island |accessdate=24 August 2014}} {{Cork Harbour |state=collapsed}}{{cork-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.islandcrematorium.ie/history/ | publisher=IslandCrematorium.ie |title= Island Crematorium - History |accessdate=24 August 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=CO®no=20908744 | publisher= Buildings of Ireland: National Inventory of Architectural Heritage |title= The Island Crematorium, Rocky Island, County Cork |accessdate=24 August 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.jca.ie/pages/conservation/projects_list/projects/rocky_island.html | publisher=Jack Coughlan Associates.
