This is the final work in the Northern Defence Line of Fortifications of Plymouth and was connected directly to Fort Austin by the military road which is still in use today. The 1643 map of the siege of Plymouth indicates that batteries lined the western bank of the Plym as far back as the seventeenth century. Resembling a large pentagonal bastion the present battery was defended by a rampart and ditch with a simple loop holed wall closing the gorge. It was designed for ten guns in emplacements and three in casemates. There was casemated accommodation along the south and east sides of the rampart.
The interior of the battery is currently used by commercial businesses.
There is no need to enter the interior of the battery.
You will need a pen or pencil to sign the log and place the log in the top first before replacing the bottom.
