There were 3 68-pounder Guns and 2 32-pounder Guns. They can fire 1600 yards 0.9 miles or 1.463km. 2 underground magazines chambers house 126 barrels of Gunpowder.
@@_1_1_ From what I've read, I don't think the guns were ever used. Littlehampton Fort was built in 1764. This was dismantled in about 1834 and became a coastguard station. It looks like it was used as an observation post in the Second World War 2. After that, it was left as what you see in the video.
Nice shoot, thank you.
How many battles were there at this fort?

@@photonatureengland8895 Did this fort take part directly in some kind of defense? Or were the guns never used for defense?
