It was planned during the 1850s in a period of alarm about a possible French attack. Construction was completed in June 1857 at a cost of £11,685.〔Goodwin, P45〕 The design is similar to that of Littlehampton Fort, which had been built in 1854. ==Description== The fort consisted of a gun platform 15 ft (4.6m) above sea level and was in the shape of a lunette, that is a straight sided crescent. The gun platform and ramparts were surrounded by a ditch, with a Carnot wall running along its centre, designed to halt attackers attempting to cross the ditch. The wall itself had loopholes for defenders to fire through. In the place of the open bastions at the Littlehampton fort Shoreham had a caponnier with a brick roof at each of the three angles of the walls. This meant that riflemen could fire along the walls at besiegers in the ditch. The central caponnier straddled the ditch and was connected to the fort by a tunnel under the gun platform and ramparts.〔Goodwin P45〕 The East and West caponniers doubled as latrines.〔Butler P 50〕 A barrack block at the rear had room for 38 men.〔Butler P 49〕 The fort was armed with six 68-pounder guns on traversing platforms.〔Goodwin P 47〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shoreham Redoubt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
