Fort Burgoyne

Fort Burgoyne, originally known as Castle Hill Fort, was built in the 1860s to guard the high ground northeast of Dover, England. Built to a polygonal system with detached eastern and western redoubts, the fort is named after the 19th century General John Burgoyne, not the more famous John Burgoyne of the American Revolutionary War.

The central part of the fort is still under Army occupation as Connaught Barracks and cannot be visited, but the eastern and western outworks are accessible, if heavily overgrown.
