What is recorded here

Bovisand Fort is a fort in South Hams, England. Perhaps soldiers walked wet grass at dawn, listening for boats that never came. Maybe the stone still holds the shape of their patience. Imagine a cannon barrel cooling in rain while men argued about tea.
Bovisand Fort is shown as a fort on the public map of South Hams. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Bovisand Fort was built by the British government in the mid-19th century as part of a series of coastal defences during the Victorian era. It is remembered for its role in protecting the south coast of England from potential French invasion.
