Cove Fort is a small bastioned land battery to the east of Cobh in County Cork, Ireland.
[4] The seaward fortifications included a demi-bastioned frontage with three tiers of gun emplacements commanding the harbour's main shipping channel and defending the naval yards at Haulbowline.
[5][6] While the landward walls included musketry flanking-galleries,[4] later 18th century reports criticised the fact that the fort was overlooked by higher ground to the rear and that planned landward bastion defences had not been built.
[4][8] By the 1830s the site was largely given-over to this use, and though used as a barracks, was no longer used primarily for battery defence.
[10][11] The latter includes a glass structure which has been engraved with the names of the 123 passengers who boarded at Cobh – RMS Titanic's last port of call.
