Tower 6 stands on the outskirts of Shorncliffe Camp, and was built just after the completion of the original barracks there. The tower stood near the camp officers' mess, which appears to have since disappeared. The tower was reportedly in an unaltered state in 1948, although long abandoned since.1
The tower may have been manned during World War Two, as a small pillbox was built a short distance away to the east, at the top of the slope that leads down to a lower level.
Today it actually stands outside the perimeter fence of Shorncliffe Camp, and can be accessed via a public footpath. With the door bricked up, the stucco gone, exposing the brickwork and the moat overgrown with trees and vegetation, the tower is in a state of neglect. It stands derelict and has probably not been used since the war.
