ShoreUPDATE 2014

As described. There is ongoing erosion of the cliffs of the promontory, which has exposed sections through the banks and ditches of the fort's defences. Other issues include a lack of interpretation and access problems caused by long grasses covering the earthworks and much of the interior of the fort. Eyemouth Fort is the subject of a SCHARP ShoreDIG project with the local community to further investigate the site and its condition and to improve access and interpretation of the site.
