Built in 1832, the casemated Water Battery protected the seaward approach to Fort Monroe. It was obsolete by the 1890’s and demolished soon thereafter. All that remains is its powder room. The high ground beyond it is all that remains of a redoubt designed to protect the fort from an attack by land.
