Summary

Brennan torpedo launching slips at Cliffe Fort. The slips are still visible but generally in a poor condition structurally. They are overgrown and little of the iron fittings survive in situ. The northernmost slip has corroded remains in place including railings, their stanchions, and the possible remains of its launching mechanism and winch.
