Small circular fort used by Britain for coastal defence at the time of the Napoleonic Wars (8)
I believe the answer is:
martello
(Other definitions for martello that I've seen before include "Tower built around Irish coasts in Napoleonic war" , "Circular coastal fort; more tall (anag.)" , "Small round tower once used for coastal defence" .)
I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
