No trig but an interesting spot with Hayling Island looking so close across the narrow mouth to the natural Langstone Harbour. The Portsmouth fast RIB lifeboat (top speed 35 knots and crew of 4) is based here, having responded just last week to a mayday call last week from a fishing boat taking on water (and earlier this year to car on the shore that had left the main road . Close by is Fort Cumberland a pentagonal artillery fortification built in 1748 to guard the entrance to Langstone Harbour, east of the naval port of Portsmouth sited to protect the Royal Navy Dockyard, by preventing enemy forces from landing in Langstone Harbour and attacking from the landward side.

This pillar has appeared toppled into the shingle at it\'s location where it once stood. The shingle has been dragged down by the tide over time. See images on trigpointinguk.com
