Additional Description: The magazine was built to hold gun powder and shells for the guns. Magazines were built in rear of the parapet of the battery. An excavation of four to five foot is dug and a roof is placed at the same level as the ground. The roof may be strengthened by layers of timber. The top is covered by earth to a depth of 7 feet. The entrance for the covered passage is turned from the enemy, so to be protected from incoming fire.
