Wall to Crinnis Cliff Gun Battery

The wall on the landward side of Crinnis Cliff gun battery was built in 1793 for Charles Rashleigh and has undergone later alterations. It is constructed of stone rubble with granite parapet copings, with some later brick modifications.

This defensive wall is roughly semi-circular and stands about two metres high, featuring a battlemented parapet with flat granite copings. The original main entrance is located on the south-west side and has been altered with brick jambs and a wrought-iron gate. Some areas of the internal face, especially on the western side, are cement rendered, indicating the location of a lean-to storage facility for small arms. The wall has been breached on the north-west side. Inside the battery, there are remains of four gun platforms, a flag-staff base, and bases for other ancillary buildings. Close to the breached section of the wall, there is a derelict brick and concrete ammunition magazine.
