It is a Grade II listed building.[1] HistoryThe barracks were built to provide living accommodation for Royal Artillery units responsible for defending Portsmouth and were completed between 1847 and 1850.[1][2] Point Battery, the unit occupying the barracks, was originally equipped with 68-pounder guns but benefited from improvements in artillery equipment to 64-pounder guns in the late 1890s and to 6-pounder quick-firing guns in the late 1930s.[3] Following disbandment of the UK's coastal artillery network after the Second World War, the barracks were decommissioned in the early 1960s and the site was acquired by Portsmouth City Council.[4] Part of the brick structure was demolished, but the outline of the soldiers' barracks rooms is marked by stones in the ground alongside the surviving casemates.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101386892-18-gun-battery-and-flanking-battery-kings-stairs-sallyport-pointbarracks-st-thomas-ward#.WcaJpsiGMdU|title=18 Gun Battery and Flanking Battery, Kings Stairs, Sallyport, Point Barracks|publisher=British Listed Buildings|accessdate=23 September 2017}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.littlehamptonfort.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Robert-Bushby.pdf|publisher=Hampshire Telegraph and Sussex Chronicle|date=18 November 1854|title=To builders, Royal Engineer’s Office, Portsmouth|accessdate=23 September 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.victorianforts.co.uk/pdf/datasheets/pointbattery.pdf|title=Point Battery|publisher=Victorian Forts|accessdate=23 September 2017}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.portsmouth-guide.co.uk/local/sqrntwr.htm|title=The Square and Round Towers|publisher=Portsmouth Guide|accessdate=23 September 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.portsmouthmuseums.co.uk/museum-service/The-Round-Tower|title=The Round Tower|publisher=Portsmouth Museums|accessdate=23 September 2017}} 2 : Barracks in England|Installations of the British Army |
