Description

Cornwall: Maker Heights (near Millbrook). Plan and sections, on a single sheet, showing showing a proposed fort with detached bastions. Reference notes. Scale: 1 inch to 150 feet [1:1,800]; 1 inch to 10 feet [1:120]. Compass indicator. Copied from an original drawing surveyed by G Beck and drawn by W Payne; this copy by Thomas Yeakell. The descriptive notes refer to two alternative designs, proposed by the Duke of Richmond, [Master General of the Ordnance], and by Lieutenant Colonel [M] Dixon, but the plan seems to depict only one scheme.
