Description
Mount Pleasant Blockhouse is a gun battery built in the mid-18th century to defend Plymouth Dock, now known as Devonport Docks. Locally referred to as the Pattypan, it features brick walls and granite flags for paving. The structure has an overall square plan with a central sunken area and splayed corners. The gun platform is accessed by two ramps flanking the entrance and by two flights of steps, with splayed gun positions on two sides. The blockhouse is situated in a prominent location at the center of a public recreation area, which is surrounded by a late 19th-century housing estate.
