What is recorded here
Efford Fort stands as a defensive marker on the Plymouth coast, built to watch the water and deter invasion. Its stones still face the sea, unchanged since the threat that called them into being. The fort never needed to fire; its visibility did the work.
Efford Fort is shown as a fort on the public map of Plymouth. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
