Cove Fort, fortification in County Cork

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.

What is recorded here

Remains of star-shaped fort, built 1743-9, with roughly dressed stone walls.

This solidly constructed star-shaped fort acts as a physical reminder of the military presence that once contributed to the social, historical and economic development of Cobh.
