Description

The Battery is a D-shaped gun battery made of rubble. It is partly collapsed on the landward side, where there were battlemented tower platforms at each end, which may have housed the magazines. The semi-circular firing bay features eight square, slightly splayed embrasures.

Local climate

The Battery sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,030 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 93% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 8 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 93% of listed buildings. Of these, 3 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
