Building associated with Brazen Ward artillery fort. A section put across the main chamber revealed massive walls and cobbled floor interpreted as a possible powder store. Pottery suggests it predates the Civil War by 100 years. Possibly associated with Elizabeth I's warnings to the Grenvilles to defend Lundy against the Spanish.
