Braefoot Point Battery

All that remains visible of this latrine block is the rectangular concrete raft which formed its foundation. It measures 6.1m from NNW to SSE by 3m transversely and a socket for a wooden post at the SW corner indicates that the superstructure above the raft was probably framed in timber. A contemporary plan (Ordnance Survey 1918) shows that the latrine contained 6 cubicles, a separate entrance to the southern probably indicating its use by officers. A concrete gutter runs WSW from the SW corner of the building 5.9m to a manhole measuring 0.97m square overall and 0.4m square internally.
