It was important to prevent coast defence batteries being put out action by enemy troops landing and attacking them from behind. As a consequence, many of them had strong landwardd efences, and Hound Point was no exception. Two lines of blockhouses were built in an 'inner' and an 'outer' line, with six blockhouses in both lines (see NT17NE 70.04). The inner line of blockhouses was linked by a barbed wire entanglement (The National Archives WO78/4396).
