What is recorded here

Powder magazine, c.1810, composing a number of individual single-storey buildings with single-storey extensions to the rear of each building. Now out of use and derelict. Constructed of coursed limestone rubble with natural slate roofs. Square-headed door openings with red brick surrounds to most buildings with narrow slit openings to side elevations. Located in a sunken compound to the west of the barrack complex and bounded by high rubble limestone wall.
An interesting complex of modest early nineteenth-century functional buildings, formerly used to store ammunition and gun powder. They are located in a sunken compound at the edge of Custume Barracks and surrounded by a high wall to minimise damage in the event of an explosion.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
