Monument record TR 34 SW 2016 - The Gorge Casements of the Citadel, Western Heights, Dover.
Summary
Six casemates are located within the eastern side of the Citadel's scarp wall, providing protection of the main lengths of the Gorge (eastern) ditch and for the faces of the redan. The majority of the work on these casemates would have been completed during the early phase of works on the fort (1810) though improvements were also made under the 1853-55 scheme of improvements.
