During the Napoleonic era fortifications were added to Dover Castle to improve defenses. Located in the east moat overlooking the harbor is East Demi Bastion. The Bastion consists of a gun battery and a lower level looking out to sea from the face of the cliff. A network of staircases and tunnels connect the bastion to the castle. Due to the fact English Heritage are so keen to keep people out of these historic sites the condition remains good and free from damage by mindless vandals unlike many of the fortifications and tunnels around Dover.
