Napoleonic Barracks 480m south-west of Foxhole Farm, Cuckmere Haven is a military installation dating from the Napoleonic Wars period. The barracks represents part of the defensive infrastructure constructed along the Sussex coast during the early nineteenth century when invasion by French forces posed a genuine strategic threat to England. The site comprises the remains of temporary military accommodation built to house troops garrisoned in the area as part of the broader system of coastal defences. Such barracks were characteristic features of the landscape during the period of heightened military preparedness between approximately 1793 and 1815, reflecting the sustained commitment to coastal security during this prolonged conflict.
