What is recorded here

Calshot Castle is a 16th century artillery castle in New Forest, England. It stands as a scheduled monument, marked for preservation rather than promised to every visitor. The stones have watched the coast for centuries, perhaps still holding the shape of guns that never fired or warnings that never came.

The National Heritage List for England records Calshot Castle: a 16th century artillery castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Built by Henry VIII in the 1530s as part of his coastal defense program, Calshot Castle is important as an example of early artillery fortification designed to protect the Solent and Southampton Water from potential invasion.
