Peel Castle - The New Battery

This is the site of the New Battery, built in 1816. An earth bank beyond the stone wall protected the guns. Old guns, buried upright in the ground, served as a pivot for the newer guns. The guns rotated on the metal track.

Accommodation for the soldiers manning the battery was provided for by the Guard House.

Ammunition was kept in the magazine.

This is how the battery would have looked when it was in use.
