For more than 400 years, a military fort – The Redoubt – has watched over Enniskillen Castle and beyond. For many people, where this place actually is may be something to ponder, as it can no longer be clearly seen due to surrounding trees. However, back when it was first constructed, Enniskillen’s West Battery – as it is also known – had a then commanding view taking in the castle and the western approaches to the town of Enniskillen, the river and the surrounding countryside.
