This was and still is the entrance to the fort, across the moat and through a tunnel, although the bridge is rather more permanently welcoming than in its operational days. The fort was built as part of Lord Palmerston's defensive improvements along the south coast in the 1870s and is the largest defensive work ever constructed in Sussex.
