---

Shoreham Fort, also known as Kingston or Shoreham Redoubt, completed in June 1857 is one Of the many small forts and gun batteries built along the coast of Southern England. It is an important example of experimental fortification, using what is known as a Carnot Wall, a type of loop-holed wall introduced into the design of fortifications from the early nineteenth century intended to defend against artillery and infantry attack.
