Field Visit (28 September 2016)
What may be a building of military origin, now in use as a dwelling, stands only 13m NNW of the 4.7-inch gun emplacement (NS28SE 39.02) but on the opposite side of Fort Road. However, it is not depicted on any of the readily accessible plans of Portkil battery dated 1908 and 1916. Close inspection of the structure was not possible on the date of visit.
