The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castle Point Old Fort; Fishguard Fort as Fort from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Fishguard Fort, also known as Castle Point Old Fort, was built by the British during the Napoleonic Wars, around the early 19th century, to defend against potential French invasion. It is remembered as part of Wales' coastal defense network and for its later role in the 1905 Fishguard Invasion, a comedic mock-invasion staged by a theatrical company.
