Dunrock is a rectangular post-medieval fortification located in the Carrickfergus area of County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The structure reflects the military engineering practices of the early modern period, when fortified positions were established to control strategically important locations in Ulster. Its rectangular plan is characteristic of post-medieval defensive architecture, designed to provide effective fire coverage from artillery and firearms. The site remains a material record of the fortification strategies employed during the colonisation and consolidation of English authority in Ireland in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
