Dale Point Fort is a post-medieval coastal defence fortification located on Dale Point in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The fort was constructed as part of the nineteenth-century strengthening of British coastal defences, reflecting contemporary concerns about naval threats during the Victorian period. The structure exemplifies the design principles of mid-to-late nineteenth-century military architecture, incorporating bastions and gun emplacements suited to the requirements of the era. Today the unoccupied sections of the fort survive as scheduled ancient monuments, preserving important evidence of Wales's maritime defensive heritage.
