Constructed in the shape of a six sided arrow head, with each flank protected by machines guns in the counter-scarp galleries, the Fort would have been home to a garrison of approximately 400 men and women. However by the early 1990s the Fort was all but deserted, derelict and in much need of attention. The fort was put up for auction and purchased by Avondale who started started to run the fort as a business office while retaining its original historical features.
