GV II
Perimeter wall. 1843-48, by Major T Foster, for the Ordnance Board. Snecked sandstone ashlar. Tall wall with half-round coping extends approximately 200m to form SW corner, including projecting corner giving field of fire up W side with blocked rifle holes.
HISTORY: the perimeter wall originally had canted E and W sides covered by rifle slots in projecting corners at both ends, and formed a projecting triangle to the entrances in the N and S ends, also covered by rifle slots. The main entrance had a pedimented archway with a carved stone Royal Arms, now re-set outside the present entrance. The barracks was built in response to anxiety over Chartist agitation. An important part of the only example of a defensible barracks in England. Although sections have been lost, the surviving lengths form an important part of the original plan of the barracks, forming the lost complete example in Britain of the late C18 concept of barracks design.
