The monument comprises the remains of a nineteenth century defensible barracks. Located on Barrack Hill, the site has a commanding view of the dockyard at Pembroke Dock. The barracks were constructed in 1841-46 and housed the Royal Marines who were tasked with protecting the dockyard.
The barracks consist of a defensive square structure with projecting bastions on each corner surrounded by a dry moat. Within the defensible barracks, a central square parade area was enclosed by blocks of barrack rooms, mess areas, magazines and gun sheds. The basements contained areas for laundry, stores, latrines and magazines. The layout of the site probably represents the last example of a ‘square bastion trace’ fortification built in Europe.
The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of post-medieval/modern aspects of warfare and politics.
The scheduled area comprises the remains described and an area around them within which related evidence may be expected to survive.

Jengo hilo lilijengwa mwaka 1841 na liliwakilisha askari wa Royal Marines ambao walipewa kazi ya kulinda uwanja wa meli. Makao hayo ya askari-jeshi yalikuwa na muundo wa mraba wenye ngome zilizotengenezwa kwa njia ya ulinzi na ngome zilizotengenezwa kwa njia ya mto. Ndani ya kambi za ulinzi, eneo la maandamano la mraba wa kati lilifungwa na vitalu vya vyumba vya kambi, maeneo ya kula, magazeti na vibanda vya bunduki. Vyumba vya chini ya ardhi vilikuwa na sehemu za kufulia nguo, maduka, vyoo na magazeti. Mpangilio wa tovuti pengine inawakilisha mfano wa mwisho wa "square ngome trace" ngome kujengwa katika Ulaya. Mnara huo ni muhimu kwa kitaifa kwa sababu ya uwezo wake wa kuongeza maarifa yetu ya mambo ya baada ya enzi za kati na za kisasa ya vita na siasa. Eneo lililopangwa linajumuisha mabaki yaliyoelezwa na eneo karibu nao ambalo ushahidi unaohusiana unaweza kutarajiwa kuishi. Makumbusho mengine yaliyoorodheshwa karibu
