Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Bréhon Tower (Fort Brehon) is accessible only by boat and sits on Bréhon Rock, an island in the Little Russell channel about 1.5 km northeast of St Peter Port, Guernsey, between the port and the islands of Herm and Jethou. Thomas Charles de Putron (1806–1869) built the oval tower of granite from Herm, completing the work in 1857.

Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

La tour Bréhon est une tour Martello qui s'élève au milieu de la passe du Petit Ruau entre les îles Anglo-Normandes de Guernesey d'une part, de Herm et de Jethou d'autre part.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Der Bréhon Tower (auch Fort Bréhon genannt) wurde 1857 von Thomas Charles de Putron (1806–1869) erbaut. Er liegt im Little Russell Channel auf der kleinen Felseninsel Bréhon Rock zwischen der Inseln Herm und Jethou, etwa 1,5 km nordöstlich von St. Peter Port auf der Kanalinsel Guernsey und ist nur mit dem Boot zu erreichen. Der ovale Turm aus Granit ist kein Martelloturm steht aber in der Entwicklungslinie der Martellotürme.
