Yaverland Battery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yaverland Battery, Isle of Wight is a battery on the Isle of Wight.

Although not much remains at the holiday camp in Yaverland, where the battery is situated, the outer casing of the battery is still mostly intact so you can work out how it looked back when it was first built. Outer walls and carponiors remain but inside they have been back filled possibly by using a large digger smashing through the top of the battery and filling it with spoil. There seems no other possible way to have filled it with the volume of spoil inside.
