In 1744 a battery of six pieces of cannon (eighteen pounders) was erected at the south end of the town, for protecting ships in the south roads, and guarding the passage of the Stanford (a sandbank). The cannon were given by Government, but the ammunition was furnished by the town. Only the rear wall of the battery survives.
