Kingswear Castle was built between 1491 and 1502 as a coastal artillery tower for use with heavy cannon. It is located in Devon England.Owing to the limited range of cannon at the time the fort at Kingswear was designed to work alongside Dartmouth Castle on the opposite bank so that between them they could provide complete cover of the narrow entrance through the Dart Estuary into Dartmouth Harbour.
