 Crownhill Fort in Plymouth
Most people hardly notice Crownhill Fort as they go past, it is so well hidden from the outside world, and that was exactly the intention when it was built in the 1860s.
Crownhill Fort has great importance today, as the last of this country's true castles and the most important of the great Victorian forts built to defend Plymouth from attack by land as well as sea..

 Plymouth's premier attraction and venue. Crownhill Fort the day out for all the family.
Crownhill Fort was designed by Capt.E.F. Du Cane as the principal, and largest, fort of Plymouth's North-Eastern Defences, designed to defend the Royal Dockyard at Devonport from an attack by the French from the north of the city.
Crownhill, and its guns, were never put to the ultimate test as advances in artillery soon overtook it, and fortresses became obsolete.
Unlike many of the mid-Victorian forts in Plymouth and elsewhere, Crownhill was retained by the army for over a century, being used by a succession of infantry regiments when the Fort was used as HQ Plymouth Garrison, and therefore did not suffer any irreversible alterations.

 Crownhill Fort - Plymouth
Haxo casements named after the German general who proposed them were designed to provide the gun and crew with protection from high angle fire.
The downside to this added protection was the restricted angle of fire although a mixture of Haxo and Barbette style emplacements, as at Crownhill, could provide a compromise between protection and firepower.
It is important to note that the gun itself was standard ordnance at the time and only the carriage was unusual.
