Fort Cumberland, Fort Cumberland Road, Eastney - Portsmouth, City of (UA)

Coastal fort of 1746-1812 with later buildings and features. The casemates are suffering from water ingress and associated decay. In addition, there is localised deterioration of the Fort's defences, particularly the curtain and counterscarp. A programme of works to address some of the most urgent issues has been completed and the causes of water ingress into the casemates are being investigated. With local partners, Historic England is considering options for the sustainable re-use of the vacant parts of the site, both in the long and short-term.
