Dale Fort, Artillery fort in Dale Point, Pembrokeshire, United Kingdom
Dale Fort stands at an elevation of 28.4 meters on Dale Point, featuring a barrack block with two perpendicular wings and granite steps at the entrances.
The military installation was constructed between 1851 and 1857 under Lord Palmerston's orders to strengthen the defenses of Milford Haven against potential naval threats.
The structure represents a key example of Victorian military architecture and forms part of the network of defensive fortifications around Milford Haven.
The fort maintains its original brick vaulted fire-proof ceilings and includes both smooth-bore and rifled muzzle-loading gun positions from different construction periods.
The fort received its Grade II listing status on December 10, 1997, despite being considered technically obsolete for its intended purpose before construction finished.
