East Weare Gun Battery E Portland

East Weare Battery was a gun battery to the east of the Verne Citadel on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England. The battery was built in the 1860s as a result of the Royal Commission to guard the new Portland harbour and Royal Navy institutions on the island. Five open batteries were built housing 20 9" and 10" RMLs. In 1900, they were replaced by three 6-inch Breech Loading (BL) guns, and again by two 9.2-inch Breech Loading (BL) guns by World War II.
