Monument record TR 34 SW 2010 - Casemates within the inner North West Bastion of the Citadel, Western Heights, Dover
Summary
Nine casemates are located behind the scarp wall of the inner North West Bastion, facing the cross ditch. Five of these belong to the early phase of construction at the fort and were likley completed by 1815, the other four are a later addition and were probably the result of the 1853-5 improvements to the fort.
