词条 Pewit Island (Portsmouth Harbour)
释义

  1. References

Pewit Island is a small island located in the north western section of Portsmouth Harbour. Historically it appears to have been connected to the mainland via a manmade shingle causeway, parts of which still exist. The island has been colonised by oak and blackthorn scrub and is home to species including sea lavender and golden samphire plants.[3] The island is currently a Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust nature reserve. [1]

In 1857 plans drawn up to improve the defences of Portsmouth included building a fortification on the island.[5] The plans were latter modified in the face of improved artillery technology and the fortification was never built.[2]
