Shoreham Fort is a 19th-century coastal defence fortification located near Shoreham in Sussex. The fort was constructed as part of the extensive programme of coastal fortifications undertaken during the mid-Victorian period to protect against the perceived threat of French naval invasion. Built to a standardised design typical of the palmerston forts of the 1860s, it represents an important example of Victorian military engineering and strategic coastal planning. The fort remains substantially intact as a scheduled ancient monument, preserving evidence of mid-19th-century defensive architecture and military administration.
