The Site Today
Today the gun platform, ditch, Carnot wall and caponniers can be seen in their restored state. The foundations of parts of the barrack block and parade ground can be made out. The World War 2 observation post can be seen on the West rampart. Outside the fort to the East is an observation tower, now operated by volunteers from the National Coastwatch Institution and used to watch the harbour entrance and sea approaches.
The Redoubt is currently being restored by a local group of volunteers, the aim being to restore it and create a museum based in the ammunition store beneath the old Coastguard tower which is to be demolished.

Famous quotes containing the words site and/or today:
“The site of the true bottomless financial pit is the toy store. It’s amazing how much a few pieces of plastic and paper will sell for if the purchasers are parents or grandparent, especially when the manufacturers claim their product improves a child’s intellectual or physical development.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“I think with the Romans, that the general of today should be a soldier tomorrow if necessary.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
