Nothing can now be seen of this building which was introduced as part of the infrastructure of the battery by the Admiralty in World War I. It stood SW of the Garage (NH86NW 22.7), immediately SE of the road leading to Site No.2 (NH86NW 9.48) and W of the security fence surrounding Site No.1 (NH86NW 9.51). It was rectangular on plan and measured about 6m from N to S by 3m transversely. A plan in the Fort Record Book held by the National Archives at Kew (WO78/5192–16/19) identifies it as a ‘Works Dept Store’, while a sketch map of the battery entitled ‘Telephone Circuits’ (ADM 7/942), dated 7 May 1919, labels it ‘Works Dept.’
