The marginally less overgrown southwestern section of the site. The grey blob in the distance (left) is Stack Rock, site of a striking Victorian fort.

Landscape context in pouring rain, seen from South Hook Point. The wide estuary of Sandy Haven should be visible far left. Along with two further forts on the opposite side of the bay, access to this waterway, navigable at high tide, is overlooked from this site.
