Notes Artillery magazine. 1798-1802. Roughly coursed Devonian limestone rubble with granite door surround; interior lined with red brick. No roof, although gable-ends indicate a pitched roof parallel with the front. Small oblong building with walls approx 1.2m thick. 1 room with door in east wall. Enclosing the building on all 4 sides is the remains of a blast wall, approx 2.7m from the magazine. 1 storey. Plain, square-headed doorway with lintel of 3 large voussoirs. Rebated for door opening outwards. 2 ventilation slits, now blocked, in each of the interior side and rear walls; these merge within the wall thickness to link up with single slits on the outside. The brick interior lining curves inwards at the top, suggesting there was a barrel-vault. More complete than other ruinous structures on the fort and a rare survival of a powder magazine. (Exeter Museums Archaeological Field Unit Reports: Pye A R: Berry Head Fort, Brixham: 1990-: 12). Listing NGR: SX9415256175 Facts
