Castle Point Old Fort; Fishguard Fort — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Castle Point Old Fort stands at the edge of Pembrokeshire as a Post Medieval fort, its stones marked by national records but not necessarily open to every curious hand. The sea may have battered its walls for centuries, changing the shape of the point and the life around it. People may have watched ships, kept firelight burning or simply stood in the salt wind, measuring distance and danger.

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.
