Fort Hubberston is a post-medieval coastal defence fortification located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, constructed during the nineteenth century as part of Britain's expanded programme of coastal fortification. The fort was built to defend Milford Haven, one of Britain's most strategically important deep-water harbours, against the perceived threat of foreign naval attack during a period of heightened international tensions. The structure exhibits typical characteristics of Victorian-era fort design, incorporating gun emplacements and defensive earthworks suited to the artillery of its time. The fort remains an important example of the military engineering responses to nineteenth-century maritime security concerns in Wales.
