People complaining about the "title being wrong", when they clearly mention that they're talking about a possible invasion from Napoleon III, the grandson of the first Napoleon. He happened to be an emperor of his own in this period. Whether or not it's a clickbait title its a very accurate concern and France became fairly powerful again under his rule. Only lost his position once the Prussians forced him to abdicate after the Franco-Prussian war in 1870.
So not an extension of the Napoleonic wars. But an extension of the Napoleonic dynasty and France's threats towards England during the late 1700s and throughout the 1800s.

The forts on Portsdown Hill were the outer defences.
At the north (landward) end of Portsea Island was the Hilsea Lines. They were similarly armed, but being close to sea level could not be dug into the earth. Thus, they were ramparts, vulnerable to cannon fire.
I attended Portsmouth Grammar School. Our playing fields were in the western arm of the Lines and our changing rooms within the actual casmates that once housed the cannon.
