Full description

A rectangular building, its long axis parallel to the Garrison walls is recorded on the 1907 OS 1:2500 map between the walls (7906.18) and Woolpack quarry (7905.17) (b1). It is not marked on earlier maps, so presumably it is of later C19 or of early C20 date, perhaps associated with the 1890s fortifications. The site is included in the Schedule.
