Yaverland Battery is a coastal defence fortification located on the Isle of Wight, Hampshire, dating from the nineteenth century. The battery was constructed as part of the extensive fortification programme undertaken to protect the English coast against potential invasion, particularly during periods of heightened tension with France. The site consists of earthwork remains characteristic of artillery batteries of this period, positioned to command approaches to the Solent and local waters. Its placement near Yaverland Church reflects the strategic importance of this section of the Isle of Wight's coastline in the broader defensive network of the period.
