Kelly, 1914 refers to ‘head quarters at Causeway Head.’ ‘ A battery has been constructed at Chyandour to represent the fighting deck of a battleship, and is intended for the gunnery instruction of the Naval Reserve attached to the Penzance district; there is one 6in. breech-loader with Armstrong mountings, two 5in. breech-loaders with Vavasour mountings, three 1in. four-barrel Nordenfeldts, one five-barrel Gardiner, a drill shed 60 feet by 50 feet, also a shed for two 9lb. field guns for target practice.’


There is some dispute as to the location of these premises, and any assistance would be gratefully received

Additional note: one source refers to the erection of an Artillery drill hall in 1890. We have no more information at present.
