Sentinel Box and Powder Magazine
Dumbarton Castle
"The sentry box visible in this photo dates from 1735, and is presumably the work of Captain John Romer;…" Quoted from the Geograph website
---
Storing gunpowder was a dangerous business. In 1748, a powder magazine was built at the top of Dumbarton Rock to hold up to 150 barrels of the highly explosive material. This lock and key helped to keep them safe.
To prevent sparks that could ignite the powder, copper was used to make the lock and key rather than the usual iron. The key is stamped “MAGAZINE” and “SHIFTING ROOM” on one side and has an ordnance mark on the other. Quoted from Historic Environment Scotland
