Why this matters

Darnet Fort was a 19th-century defensive structure built by the British government as part of the Medway Forts system to protect the River Medway and London from seaborne attack. It is remembered as an example of early modern military engineering and the strategic importance of the Medway estuary during the Victorian era.

What is recorded here

Darnet Fort is shown as a fort on the public map of Medway. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
