Field Visit (20 February 2020)
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. Situated on the S side of the road at the head of the staircase and slipway (NH86NW 11.37), it was rectangular on plan and measured about 5m from E to W by 3m transversely. It is annotated ‘P.O. Hut’ (Petty Officers Hut) on a plan of the battery in the Fort Record Book held by the National Archives at Kew (WO78/5192 18/19).
