背景 Background

東龍洲炮台位於東龍洲東北端。據清代《新安縣志》,炮台建於康熙年間(一六六二至一七二二年)以防海盜;另有史料指它由兩廣總督楊琳於一七一九至一七二四年間下令興建。炮台呈長方形,圍牆約三十三點五米乘二十二點五米、高三米,正門設於北牆,內有十五間營房及八門火炮。十九世紀初海盜日盛,加上孤島補給困難,炮台一八一〇年由九龍炮台取代。一九七九至一九八二年間進行修葺及局部復原,古物古蹟辦事處並在義工協助下發掘,出土大量文物。一九八〇年列為法定古蹟。

Tung Lung Fort stands at the north-eastern tip of Tung Lung Chau. The Xinan Gazetteer records that it was built during the Kangxi reign (1662-1722) against pirates, while another source credits its construction to Yang Lin, Viceroy of Guangdong and Guangxi, between 1719 and 1724. The rectangular fort, about 33.5 by 22.5 metres with three-metre walls and a north-facing entrance, held fifteen guardhouses and eight cannons. Rising piracy and the difficulty of supplying a remote island led to its replacement by Kowloon Fort in 1810. Repaired and partly restored between 1979 and 1982, it was declared a monument in 1980.
