Field Visit (26 September 2016)
Documentation within the Fort Record Book (National Archives: WO78/4396) indicates that four buildings stood in the E corner of the battery compound, between the RA Office and Store (NS28SE 39.12) and the searchlight battery (NS28SE 39.05). Nothing is now visible of three of these structures; the concrete floor of the fourth (NS 25321 80317) is visible in the garden of the house that was formerly the RA Office.
