What is recorded here
Fort Charles stands in Tullyconnaught, County Down, a seventeenth-century artillery fort built to command the local approach. Its guns likely thundered across the land, forcing travellers to respect the reach of its fire. The stones have watched the coast and fields for centuries, keeping the loud purpose that shaped their making.
The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as ARTILLERY FORT: FORT CHARLES. Recorded period: C17TH; POST-MED. 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.
