Littlehampton Redoubt, Artillery fort in Littlehampton, England.
The Littlehampton Redoubt features a central gun platform elevated above sea level, with a wide defensive ditch and battlements for coastal protection.
Built in 1854 at a cost of £7,615, the fort was constructed to defend against potential French attacks under Emperor Napoleon III's regime.
The redoubt represents Victorian military engineering practices and stands as a testament to England's defensive preparations during the 1850s political tensions.
Visitors can observe the fortification remains from a wooden walkway across the sand dunes, with information panels explaining the structure's features.
The fort incorporated an innovative Carnot wall in its design, running through the center of its nine-yard-wide defensive ditch to stop potential attackers.
