Fort Hubberston is a post-medieval coastal defence fort located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, constructed during the nineteenth century as part of Britain's expanded programme of coastal fortification. The fort was built to protect Milford Haven, one of Britain's strategically important deep-water harbours, from potential naval threats during a period of heightened military investment. The structure exemplifies the Victorian-era approach to coastal defence architecture, incorporating features typical of contemporary fortification design. As a scheduled ancient monument under Cadw's protection, Fort Hubberston remains a significant example of nineteenth-century military engineering in Wales.
