Battery 200yds (180m) E of the Naval cemetery is a Napoleonic War fortification located in Dorset. The battery was constructed as part of the defensive preparations undertaken along the English coast during the early nineteenth century threat of French invasion. It represents the type of field artillery emplacement typical of the Napoleonic period, designed to provide coastal defence through fixed gun positions. The site remains an important archaeological record of Britain's military engineering and strategic positioning during one of the nation's most significant periods of external threat.
