It is a bit dry on guesses. It was part of quite significant dockyard defences.

i think technically they are Batteries at Dungeness not Forts.

Well grandarog, I am aware of most places mentioned on KHF; I have visited many, and I often have a little personal anecdote to add.
I have never heard of Dungeness Fort, and I have been to Dungeness many times.


So I am afraid that you are way out, as you have surmised. It is associated with the North Kent coast as I suggested earlier.

Pete, New Tavern Fort is quite an interesting area.
I visited it a few years ago, although I was mainly in the area to explore the Thames Medway Canal basin nearby.


It is not there, but you are on the right coastline.

Thank you Diapason. I have not been KHFing much lately, and here I am back and posting in Guess the place.


With lock-down, my options to play GTP with my own images is limited, but here is one from 4ish years ago.

I don't recall it on the old forum.  I found it after a of of searching on line.


Perhaps some clues will bring in more interest?

I had my doubts about putting this one up as I believe I used it on the `old` forum.
