Neds Point front gate

Neds 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. It is situated near the once important naval town of Buncrana. It was remodeled in 1897 as a twin 6" battery. Only the outside is visible, as the site was badly vandalized shortly after restoration, and now has no public access.
