ARTILLERY FORT: THE REDOUBT or WEST BATTERY in Enniskillen

ARTILLERY FORT: THE REDOUBT or WEST BATTERY

What is recorded here

West Battery stands as a listed seventeenth-century artillery fort in Enniskillen, its redoubt shape built to turn fire inward rather than invite it in. The stones still hold the shape of that decision, a compact ring of earth and purpose waiting for the weight of guns never heard again.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ARTILLERY FORT: THE REDOUBT or WEST BATTERY. Recorded period: C17TH. Recorded protection: Listed. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
