Monument record TR 34 SE 346 - Site of former gun battery
Summary
The 1st edition OS map (1865-72) shows an 'Old Battery : remains of' on the cliffs above Ness Point. There is no further information about this but it has been suggested that it could be the site of a Napoleonic-era gun battery and perhaps related to the Guard House (TR 34 SE 346)
