It is of polygonal design and was never originally armed. An anti-aircraft battery was based there in the Second World War. After many years' use as a pig farm and store for the nearby Young Offenders Institution it was sold in 1991 to a company hoping to make it a museum, but that proved unsuccessful and the fort has been converted into living accommodation. There is no public access to the site. ReferencesExternal links
