		The London Defence Positions, from where the defence was to be conducted, were the fieldworks to be constructed in the week's grace expected before an invader would be in a position to launch an attack London.

		The fort is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade II Listed Building, and was in use as a coastal defence from the nineteenth century until 1956.
		2.4 The earth bank which surrounds the seaward side of the fort was placed in position in 1902 as additional defence, as the development of guns by that time meant that the walls could have been breached by a direct hit when under attack.
		However, the entomological survey commissioned by the County Council concludes that the proposal is unlikely to have any large- scale consequences for the known fauna of the area, subject to certain safeguards.

		Fort Albert, with Hurst Castle in the backgroundIt was completed by 1856, but like the American Third System forts it resembles in miniature, it would have suffered badly from rifled gunfire, so the Royal Commission enhanced it with batteries on the cliffs above.
		The fort is in private ownership and not open to the public, and indeed there is no public access even to the cliff tops which overlook it.
		The fort itself has been converted into private flats, and the battery, which is in declining condition due to neglect and coastal erosion, is part of a chalet estate.
