What is recorded here

Detached gun room, built c. 1850, comprising ashlar walls to north elevation with external staircases to east and west. Oculi over camber-headed openings having limestone surrounds, keystones and recessed timber battened doors with metal gates. Half-barrel vaulted brick corridors and concrete corridors to interior leading to gun room having cannon dated 1918. Concrete cantilevered canopy to south elevation over firing range.

This gun room is a notable example of nineteenth century architecture converted to house twentieth century weaponry. The site remains substantially intact and serves as a reminder of Spike Island's strategic location.
