Description
Frederick’s Battery consists of the remains of a military battery built in 1754, situated within the lower fort of the Royal Citadel. The tower was mostly demolished in 1888. It is made from limestone rubble and features dressed Dartmoor granite quoins. The structure has a rectangular plan that projects to the west, with a retaining wall that returns to the cliff at the eastern end. The southern walls are battered, and the projecting western section includes a 20th-century flagstaff. The base of the battery is hidden beneath the late-19th century Royal Plymouth Corinthian Yacht Club.
