Lord Howard's Battery is a former gun battery built in 1908–09 to defend the approach to HMNB Devonport through Plymouth Sound and Jennycliff Bay.
[1][2] The battery was armed with two BL 6-inch Mk VII guns, which were removed prior to World War II.
[3] During the late 20th-century, the battery and its surrounding area was transformed into a public space by Plymouth City Council.
The two gun emplacements and magazine were infilled with earth, and all ancillary buildings were demolished.
Adjacent to Jennycliff Cafe is the battery's former blockhouse.
