What is recorded here

Neds Point Fort is an intact stone battery beside Buncrana, built in 1812 to block French ships from entering Lough Swilly. Its rectangular blockhouse, four-gun battery and surrounding ditch still stand, though the tower was lowered and new mountings were cut into the ground during the 1890s. The guns left in 1907, but the fort keeps its shape: a small stubborn point of stone where the sea road narrows, waiting for ships that never came.
