It is a historic fortress located in Gravesend, Kent, England. It was first built in the 1790s to support the New Tavern Castle. It was redeveloped in the 1850s and became one of the earliest polygonal fortifications in Britain, equipped with 13 32 pounder guns. Construction began in 1847 and was completed six years later. However, due to the fact that the fortress site is located in a marshy area and cannot support such a massive structure, the entire fortress must be completely rebuilt. The new fortress adopts a D-shaped design, including curved areas for gun positions and turrets, as well as barracks and administrative buildings behind.
