Notes	Artillery magazine, now HM Coastguard lookout. Probably c1780, remodelled 1794-1802. Heightened in C20 to make the lookout. Stone rubble, the perimeter wall of coursed stone rubble with corner and gate piers of ashlar. Flat-topped roof, slated at the sides. Square building tightly enclosed by square perimeter wall. Entrance on east; blocked entrance on north. Appears to be single-storeyed. No openings except simple doorway on east side. Tall perimeter wall with square pier at each corner having a pyramidal cap. 2 matching gate piers in east wall, the flat arch of the door-head between them with well-cut voussoirs. Wall has a flat dressed coping, continued round the piers as an architrave to the caps. On top of it a chamfered added coping of stone rubble. On the north side a plain opening 3m wide, blocked by stone rubble. The walls contain a number of small cement-rendered apertures, probably Second World War gun-slits. The building was converted to a coastguard lookout in 1906 and further altered in 1963. (Exeter Musems Archaeological Field Unit Reports: Pye A R: Berry Head Fort, Brixham: 1990-: 20-21).
