ARGYLE BATTERY

This six gun battery together with Mill's Mount Battery (to its west) and the low defences below it were the main northern defence of the castle.

It was rebuilt in the 1730s to its present condition and each turret houses a cast iron, muzzle-loading 18 pound guns made during the Napoleonic Wars about 1810.
