Dartmouth Castle is an artillery fort, built to protect Dartmouth harbour in Devon, England. The earliest parts of the castle date from the 1380s, when, in response to the threat of a French attack, the civic authorities created a small enclosure castle overlooking the mouth of the Dart estuary. This was intended to engage enemy ships with catapults and possibly early cannon, and incorporated the local chapel of Saint Petroc within its walls. At the end of the 15th century, the castle was expanded with an artillery tower and an iron chain which could be stretched across the harbour to a tower at ; this addition formed the oldest known purpose-built coast artillery fort in Britain. Further gun batteries were added during the French invasion scare of the 1540s.

  • Le château de Dartmouth est un des deux châteaux (l'autre étant le château de Kingswear) qui se trouve à l'embouchure du Dart, dans le Devon au sud-ouest de l'Angleterre. Une première fortification est construite en 1388 sous la direction de John Hawley. L'actuelle tour est la plus ancienne fortification anglaise spécialement construite pour supporter des canons. Elle est construite entre 1481 et 1495. Des ajouts, comme la plate-forme à l'air libre, sont datés du XVIe siècle sous le règne d'Henri VIII puis au XVIIe siècle pour s'adapter aux nouvelles technologies militaires. (fr)
