Castle Field was part of Southsea Castle’s defenses; having a large open area surrounding the castle provided the castle defenders with a field of fire, forcing any attacking forces to approach across this open ground at the mercy of the castle archers or artillery.
East Battery, a banked section at the coastal end of Castle Field, is an earthwork battery where artillery was positioned to protect the castle from a sea attack.
