Battery 200yds (180m) E of the Naval cemetery is a military fortification located in Dorset, England. The site dates from the Napoleonic Wars period, when coastal defences were extensively constructed across southern England to counter the threat of French invasion. The battery would have comprised gun emplacements designed to provide artillery cover for the coast, typical of the systematic defensive network established during the early nineteenth century. Its proximity to the Naval cemetery suggests a location of strategic military importance within a defended coastal zone.
