Defences of military redoubt. 1794-1804. Probably designed by Lt-Col Alexander Mercer. Roughly coursed Devonian limestone rubble with granite string course. The redoubt occupies the southern promontary of the country park and was designed to protect the landward approach to the northern fort (qv). Its ramparts are 3-sided with 12 gun embrasures on the south-west side and 7 on the north-west side. Behind each embrasure is the sunken site of the gun platform. No embrasures on the north side, which was protected by the guns of the northern fort. The entrance, its features now stripped out, is on this side; approached by an earthern causeway, but said to have been a drawbridge here originally. Encircling the ramparts is a deep, dry moat which extends to the cliff edge at either end. On the rampart side is a steeply sloping stone revetment wall, finishing in a rounded granite string course below the gun embrasures. The other side of the moat has an earth embankment with an almost vertical stone revetment wall towards the moat and a gentle slope or glacis on the outside. The southern, seaward, side of the fort is mostly protected by steep cliffs, but at the western end a stretch of stone rubble musketry wall survives. The redoubt is usually referred to in learned publications as the No.1 Fort. It is part of an extensive system of fortifications erected on Berry Head following the outbreak of war with France in 1793. It has been described as one of the most complete surviving examples of purpose-built Napoleonic fortifications in south-west England.

Defences of military redoubt. 1795-1807. Probably designed by Lt-Col Alexander Mercer. Ramparts and musketry walls of roughly coursed squared Devonian limestone rubble; gate piers and gun embrasures of ashlar. Ramparts and battery platform have granite string courses. Ramparts cut off the neck of the northern promontary of Berry Head, protecting the seaward-looking artillery batteries from landward attack. The ramparts are 3-sided with 18 gun embrasures; roughly central gateway with long walled passage behind. Dry moat in front, deepest next to the gate. Adjoining the northern rampart is a battery platform, protected on its south-western side by a long musketry wall. A short stretch of musketry wall has survived on its north-eastern side, but most has been destroyed by quarrying. A substantial stretch of the southern musketry wall survives, approx 140m long, running north-east from the southern end of the ramparts. It includes a triangular projection or 'redan' to provide covering fire along the wall face. Ramparts are of earth with a slightly battered stone revetment wall on the outside. Inside is a raised terrace with the gun platforms cut into it; these have stone rubble side walls and some have floors of granite slabs installed in 1802-09 to replace the original wooden floors. Gun embrasures are slightly splayed on the inside and broadly splayed on the outside. Cannon have been imported into a few of them to give some idea of their original appearance. The gateway, now approached by an earthern causeway, originally had a wooden drawbridge. The recesses and some of the iron fittings for this are still visible on the inner faces of the tall gate piers, which have neckings and caps made from projecting stone courses; the caps have shallowly chamfered tops with iron spikes for former finials. Half-way down the passage at either side is a shallow recess in the stone side walls; these have iron hinges and were presumably designed to hold a pair of gates folded back. At the rear the walls slope downwards to match the ramparts, curving outwards at each end and finished with a round pier; that to north retains a shallow conical cap of red sandstone. The higher parts of the walls have flat stone copings; these have mostly been removed in the lower parts. The counterscarp revetment wall, which exists only for a short stretch at either side of the entrance causeway, is of roughly coursed, squared limestone rubble. The battery platform has no features, apart from the granite string course along the top of its front retaining wall and the musketry walls at either side. Neither these nor the southern musketry wall has a coping. (Exeter Museums Archaeological Field Unit Reports: Pye A R: Berry Head Fort, Brixham: 1990-: 14-17).

The building has a projecting plinth and the stone roof-slabs project slightly in the manner of an eaves-cornice. Although the defences of the northern fort date from 1795-1804, a battery and magazine were established at the tip of Berry Head in 1770-80 during the American War of Independence. The magazine is probably of this date and the sentry box appears to relate to a blocked doorway in its north wall.

The section of quay linking the Southern and King's Quays is wholly of concrete. Several flights of steps lead down to the water; as with the copings, the earlier ones are of Devonian limestone and the later ones of granite. The harbour is roughly square, its entrance party closed by the New Pier on the west and the King's Quay on the east. The Eastern Quay which projects at an angle from the western side of the harbour is believed to be a C18 addition. An earlier quay projected a little way south of it until C19; it is here that William of Orange is believed to have landed in 1688; a plan of 1781 marks 'King William's steps' at its western end. The southern end of the harbour was a long, shelving cobbled ramp until reconstructed in 1897 as the Victorian Embankment. The original quays seem to have been on the west side. The fish market was here until a new one was built on the north side of the New Pier in 1971 and 1991. Subsidiary features: New Pier is protected on its seaward side by a tall stone rubble wall having on the harbour side a raised walk paved with slabs of Devonian limestone. At its western end is a stone tablet commemorating 'Mr JOHN MATTHEWS for his spirited conduct in causing this Pier to be built'. Foundation stone laid 1803; built with subscriptions from the inhabitants of Brixham; builder was Mr John Kitt. At its eastern end is the short round rendered base of the harbour light. Fixed to the wall below it is a plaque commemorating the landing of the Duke of Clarence here in 1828; this is separately listed. On the pier itself are 5 solid Devonian limestone painted bollards with rounded tops. At the eastern end of the Victoria Embankment is a boat-slip with a surface of granite setts. Fixed to the wall alongside it is a limestone plaque commemorating the laying of its foundation stone on 22 June 1897. King's Quay is marked on the plan of 1781 as 'The Wharf constructed on the Deer Rock'. It was then used for watering HM Navy ships via an elaborate series of pipes running from a reservoir on the site now occupied by Brixham Town Hall.
