This naval gunnery training centre was built in 1885 for the Admiralty. It was used for gunnery training of the Royal Navy Artillery Reserve from 1885-1903. It was then used for training the Territorial Army Field Batteries until 1966. In 1990 it opened as Senhouse Roman Museum. The museum holds a rich collection of Roman artefacts from the fort next to which it stands. It is an unusual and perhaps unique example of this type of building and stands in a dramatic position on a cliff top site. From Historic England education andList Entry
