Description
Fort House is a house incorporating a concrete control tower built around 1917. The tower has a battered, octagonal shape with small windows below a slightly overhanging parapet. It originally served as the rangefinder tower for Robert's Battery, part of the Tyne Turrets, which was located approximately 250 metres to the north-north-east. Robert's Battery was constructed in 1917 and dismantled in 1924. The building is listed for its historical interest, specifically related to its role in the Tyne Turret defences; the later 20th-century additions forming the bulk of the house are not considered to be of special interest.
