"Formerly known as The Battery. Naval gunnery training centre, now museum. 1885, for the Admiralty; slightly altered, and recently restored following fire damage. Rock-faced red sandstone with limestone dressings and green slate roof....Used for gunnery training of Royal Navy Artillery Reserve 1885- 1903, and subsequently of Territorial Army Field Batteries until 1966; opened as Senhouse Roman Museum 1990 (housing rich collection of Roman artefacts from the fort next to which it stands). An unusual and perhaps unique example of its type, of dramatic appearance on clifftop site...."
