The site of a coastal fort or blockhouse which was built in 1693 at Ramsey during the Nine Years' War (1688-97)  and from 1694 until 1713 was equipped with three guns mounted on a stone platform behind an embrasured wall. In 1758, during the Seven Years' War with France (1756-1763), the fort was rebuilt and was also provided with prison accommodation. Towards the end of the Anglo-French War (1778-1783), eight cannon were supplied to Ramsey in 1782-3, although the location of the batteries for which they were intended is not known for certain. Four were probably mounted at Gob ny Rona, and the remainder were probably intended for the blockhouse site although this was described as 'dismantled' in 1783.


The site is now built over.
