Monument record TR 23 NW 84 - East ware battery
Summary
Dated to 1798, it had 4 x 24 pounder and 1 x 18 pounder guns. It was removed in 1803 because, at 120 feet above sea level, it could not cover the beaches effectively. The available aerial photographs which cover this area have been examined as part of the South East Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey NMP (Component 2), and there was no visible sign of the site at this location.
