Popton Fort, Military fort in Angle, United Kingdom
The hexagonal fort features ramparts with pentagonal bastions at each corner, surrounded by a defensive ditch on its southern perimeter.
Built between 1859 and 1864 at a cost of £76,000, Popton Fort formed part of the inner defense line of Milford Haven with Fort Hubberstone.
The fort represents Victorian military engineering with its grey limestone ashlar construction and specialized accommodations for officers and soldiers.
Popton Fort contains two distinct batteries: the Moncrieff Battery on the western side and the Open Battery positioned on the northern section.
The western battery was modified in 1869 to accommodate guns with Moncrieff carriages, a technological advancement that was later removed in 1886.
