Sandown Barrack Battery is a 19th-century coastal defence fortification located at Sandown in Hampshire. The battery was constructed as part of the extensive programme of coastal fortifications built during the mid-Victorian period to protect against potential invasion from France. It forms part of the defensive network that includes the nearby Sandown Castle and represents the evolution of British coastal defence strategy during the 1860s. The remains of the battery, including its gun emplacements and associated earthworks, reflect the military engineering practices of its era and contribute to the archaeological record of Victorian-period military architecture along the Hampshire coast.
