Fort Heath was a US seacoast military installation for defense of the Boston and Winthrop Harbors with an early 20th-century Coast Artillery fort, a 1930s USCG radio station, prewar Navy research facilities, World War II batteries, and a Cold War radar station. The fort's military structures have been replaced by a residential complex (parking areas, 3 apartment buildings, etc.) and recreation facilities of Small Park, which has both a commemorative wall and an historical marker for Fort Heath.
