About

Fort Rowner is one of the Palmerston Forts, in Gosport, England.

Built circa 1858 as part of the outer defence line for Gosport along with Fort Brockhurst and Fort Elson to the North East and Fort Grange and Fort Gomer to the South West. The fort was later used as a barracks and then by the Royal Navy as a degaussing establishment. It has been a Grade II Listed Building since 1983.
