Statement of significance
Grève de Lecq is the best-preserved representative of the purpose-built barracks that were constructed as part of General Don's island-wide military infrastructure in the early 19th century. They form part of a fine ensemble of period fortifications that defend the bay.

External Description
The barracks, constructed between 1810-1815, are built in the Board of Ordnance's elegant 'utilitarian Regency' style, with low-pitched, hipped roofs and wide eight-over-eight sash windows. Some of the building materials were imported including slates from Wales and limestone cills, probably from Dorset. The barracks comprises single-storey dormitory blocks which housed the soldiers, with smaller separate rooms for the NCOs; and a separate block for the Officers. The site also includes an ablutions block, stable and harness rooms, prison cells and various storage buildings with a parade ground.
