Fort Hubberstone, Grade II listed military fortification in Milford Haven, United Kingdom.

The defensive structure contains a D-shaped barracks, eleven casemate guns, eight open battery guns, and nine flank battery guns along the waterfront.

The fort was constructed between 1860 and 1863 at a cost of £55,000 as part of Britain's defense strategy against potential French naval invasion.

The fortification represents a significant example of 19th-century military architecture, designed to protect the strategic Milford Haven waterway from foreign threats.

The barracks section of the fort included accommodation for 250 soldiers from the Royal Pembrokeshire Artillery and the 24th Regiment of Foot.

In 1894, the fort conducted night firing exercises using searchlights to illuminate targets, marking early developments in nocturnal coastal defense systems.
