Ned's Point Fort is one of several Napoleonic batteries built along the shores of Lough Swilly in county Donegal, to defend the north west of Ireland.
[3] It is situated on Ned's Point, near the once important naval town of Buncrana, and its current form largely dates to works completed between 1812 and 1813.
In 1874, the fort was armed with two 5.5-inch Howitzers in the tower and four 24 Pounder smooth bore guns in the main battery.
This included a central underground magazine complex and the height of the tower or blockhouse was also reduced.
[needs update] While there are a number of walking routes in the area, the fort itself is not open to the public.
