Charlemont Fort
Charlemont Fort was a garrison situated in Charlemont, County Armagh.
==History==
The fort was built in 1602 by Lord Mountjoy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Charlemont Fort - a brief guide )〕 It was destroyed in 1920 by fire and the only building remaining today is the gatehouse. The name ''Charlemont'' came from Charles Blount's Christian name. It was situated on the Armagh bank of the River Blackwater, it was armed with 150 men under the command of Sir Toby Caulfield, whose descendants took the name Charlemont from the place.〔
The Stronghold of Charlemont proved to be of great strategic importance in the Irish Confederate Wars in the 1640s, as it was one of only a handful of modern fortresses to be found in Ireland at that time. It was captured by the forces of Felim O'Neill in 1641 and the Ulster army of the Irish Confederates managed to hold on to the fort throughout the 1640s. It was eventually captured by Charles Coote after he had been reinforced by New Model Army soldiers in late 1650, but hundreds of Coote's soldiers were killed in the effort. The fort ceased to be used as a garrison on 14 February 1858.〔
