Description:
Constructed in the early 1860’s, Yaverland Battery is situated close to Sandown on the south of the Isle of Wight. It was originally armed with 8 x 7” RML guns and there is ample magazine provision at the battery. The entire battery was enclosed by a looped Carnot wall and two caponiers projected into the ditch. To the rear of the battery were the barracks, which could garrison up to 59 men (including officers). At each end of the barracks were two more caponiers.
