Area T. Remains of the Charles II NW perimeter defences were uncovered. Parts of these had been reused c1815 as the foundations for a powder magazine , with a barracks at first floor level. The steps up into the magazine were found intact with ventilators to allow air to circulate beneath the raised floor. A small external structure next to the steps was interpreted as the 'shifting room' where soldiers changed into spark-proof overalls.
