Description

BRIXHAM

SX95NW VICTORIA ROAD, Berry Head 1946-1/2/31 (North side) Gun battery immediately N of Round Top (not included)

GV II

Gun battery, now patio. 1779-80 or 1794-5. Semi-circular platform on cliff-top overlooking the sea. On it are 3 wedge-shaped gun platforms of granite slabs facing gently downhill; they face north, east, and west. Enclosing the platform is a stone rubble retaining wall topped by a low late C20 wall of red brick. The battery now serves as a patio to a late C20 bungalow called 'Round Top' (not included). It was formerly the Castle Hill Battery and probably went out of use after 1832. (Exeter Museums Archaeological Field Unit Reports: Pye AR: Berry Head Fort, Brixham: 1990-: 25).
