Fort Charlotte, Military ruins on Harrigan's Hill in Road Town, British Virgin Islands
The fort sits at an elevation of 947 feet above Road Town, featuring remaining walls, a cistern, and an underground storage space.
The British Royal Engineers constructed Fort Charlotte in 1794 on the site of a wooden stockade built by privateer Joost van Dyk.
The fort received its name from Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who was married to King George III of England at that time.
Access to the fortification requires a hiking path from Macnamara, as the ruins stand on private land without established public access.
The fort formed a triangular defense system with Fort Burt and Fort George, protecting Road Harbour from potential naval attacks.
