Military Fort at Newhaven adjoins Lunette Battery. It consisted of a rectangular fort defended by a moat on the north, west, and north part of the east sides and by cliffs on the south and south east. It was first used as a coastal fortification in 1548, and was rearmed in 1585, 1596, 1759 and during the Napoleonic Wars. The existing fort was built between 1846 and 1875 and had 18 guns. It was refortified again during the 2nd World War. The moat has now been partly backfilled on the north side and removed by housing development on the north east side. The interior, including the barracks, courtyard and gun emplacements have been partly demolished. (East Sussex HER–ref. Scheduled monument notice)
