Beacon Hill Battery

Beacon Hill Battery (also known as Beacon Hill Fort) was built to defend the port of Harwich, Essex. The first fortification built on the site was a blockhouse, constructed in 1534 during the reign of Henry VIII. This site was abandoned within ten years. After the death of Henry VIII the site was rearmed. By 1625 the site had again fallen into disrepair and Harwich was considered to be defenceless. The site now remained out of use until a redoubt of ten guns was built in 1810.
