Fort Château à L’Etoc, Alderney, Channel Islands
View Original Description
Built on a narrow headland projecting into the sea, completed in 1855, designed for 23 guns with accommodation for 128. Designed to be the protection for the eastern arm of the breakwater that was never built. Built on a stone age burial site, a Guernsey archaeologist was distraught at the way the construction labourers threw the bones and artefacts over the cliff into the sea.
