East Weare Camp
East Weare Camp is a derelict and disused detention barracks on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England. It is located within the East Weares area of the island, overlooking Portland Harbour. The camp became Grade II Listed in September 1978. The site originally served the East Weare Battery which lies 200 feet below. Within the battery area is also the DISTEX site (Disaster Relief Exercise), which is known as Forbidden City locally. This part was built within the battery, for the use of the Royal Navy to conduct training. The majority of the battery, DISTEX site and East Weare Camp remain on private property of Portland Port Ltd, and have not been opened to the public.
==History==
The East Weare 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. Work on the battery commenced in 1862 and finished in 1869. They were in use through to the late 20th century when the navy trained in the area. East Weare Camp was built circa 1880 as detention barracks,〔http://www.victorianforts.co.uk/pdf/datasheets/eastweare.pdf〕 before being converted to coastguard use in 1914. Later on it fell into disuse.
The buildings were approached by a climbing zig-zag route, which allowed troops access to the battery and camp, via a sally port created on the east side from the Verne Citadel.〔 The camp was enclosed with a wall, and when the site was taken over by the coastguard, work included building an outlook tower at east corner of the courtyard, which was a part of the coastguard observation point. In 1996, the Royal Navy left Portland Harbour, and Portland Port Ltd became the new owners, turning the harbour into a commercial port. The entire battery and DISTEX site, including the camp, fell into total disuse from this point.〔
