    The Cornouaille Battery, sometimes called Fort de Cornouaille or Low Cornouaille Battery, is an artillery structure dating from the 17th century located in the commune of Roscanvel in the Crozon peninsula. It defends the entrance to the Brest Narrows with the Mengant Fort located on the other side of the Narrows, thus exposing the ships which cross it to a formidable crossfire.

    It has undergone several modifications over the centuries, and is now abandoned. All of the works are classified as a historic monument by decree of April 25, 2013.
