The Star Castle, St Mary's

The National Heritage List for England records The Star Castle, St Mary's as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The Star Castle, St Mary's was built in the 16th century by the English government as a Device Fort to defend the western approaches to the English Channel during the threat of French invasion. It is important as one of the few surviving examples of Henry VIII's coastal defense system.
