The Citadel was a massive triangular fort, constructed 1681-85, on the east bank of the river Hull in Drypool at the confluence with the Humber estuary. The fortress ceased to be used for military purposes in 1848 and was demolished in 1864. An archaeological survey of the site was undertaken in 1987-88. Today, the site is occupied by the Citadel Trading Park and Victoria Dock Village.
