Old Gun Wharf Wall

The Old Gun Wharf Wall is an 18th-century structure located at the southern end of the 18th-century Devonport Dock Lines. It features scarp walls that have undergone modifications and some rebuilding in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Constructed from roughly-coursed irregular blocks of Plymouth Limestone, the wall measures approximately 68 meters in length and runs north to south, with a projecting bastion at the southern end. The wall stands around 3 meters high, although the north end is largely hidden by vegetation.

The top of the wall has concrete capping, and above it is a metal security fence, both of which are not considered to have special architectural or historic interest. The south-east corner of the bastion appears to have been rebuilt, and the center of the north-east face of the bastion was also rebuilt around the early 20th century. Much of this rebuilt section has been repaired and re-pointed at the south-east corner in the 21st century.
