Efford Fort is a Second World War anti-tank installation located in Devon, England. The site comprises an anti-tank gun emplacement constructed as part of the extensive coastal and inland defences erected during the early 1940s in preparation for potential enemy invasion. The fort features the characteristic concrete and earthwork structures typical of wartime defensive positions, designed to provide firing positions and protection for anti-tank artillery. Such installations formed part of the broader network of stop lines and fortified positions that stretched across southern England during the critical period of 1940 to 1943.
