List of coastal fortifications of County Cork : ウィキペディア英語版 | List of coastal fortifications of County Cork
A number of coastal fortifications were built in County Cork in Ireland, to defend the county's coastline, and in particular the strategic berths at Cork Harbour, Kinsale Harbour, Berehaven and Bantry Bay. These ranged from medieval tower houses to defend strategic points (14th-17th centuries), Martello towers to counter threatened French invasion (18th-19th centuries), Palmerston Forts to further improve coastal defences (19th century) and coastal artillery to support the naval defence of the "Western Approaches" during the First World War (early 20th century). ==Cork Harbour== As one of the world's largest natural harbours, Cork Harbour's defences were built from medieval times up to the 20th century to defend the Port of Cork, Haulbowline naval yards, and Naval Air Station at Queenstown. Some of these defences were tested during the Siege of Cork (1690) and Fenian Rising (1867) - the harbour remains the home-port of the Irish Naval Service.
