Abstract:		 In February 2016 Archaeology South-East carried out a historic buildings record of the Risborough Ordnance Depot at the Shorncliffe Garrison, Folkestone, Kent CT20 3HH (NGR TR 192 358). The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting and requested by Shepway District Council, to be addressed as a condition placed on planning consent relating to the redevelopment of the site for up to 1200 dwellings, a school, sports and leisure facilities, together with associated infrastructure, landscaping and access (Planning ref: Y14/0300/CON). The historic buildings across the site will be recorded in stages as individual areas become available. Shorncliffe Garrison originated with the construction in 1794 of an earthen fort - 'The Redoubt' on a spur of high ground commanding the maritime approaches to Folkestone. A training camp for Light Infantry was established at Shorncliffe in 1803 by Sir John Moore, but was not until the 1850s that a more permanent training ground was constructed, one of the first such in the country, against the general backdrop of the Crimean War. By 1900, a major programme of investment resulted in the permanent complexes of army barracks, including those for the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers, together with a military hospital. Shorncliffe became one of the main training and assembly places for Kitchener's New Army during the First World War, and was upgraded and expanded just before the outbreak of the Second World War broke out. Following the war's cessation, the site gradually declined in importance and was partially redeveloped, although the Ministry of Defence retains the Sir John Moore Plain and Barracks for use by the Brigade of Gurkhas, together with the nearby Shorncliffe Military Cemetery.
