Vintage illustration of Greve-de-Lecq, Jersey, 19th Century On the eastern side of the bay, which straddles the border of Saint Mary and Saint Ouen, is Castel de Lecq, a large mound with entrenchments which may date from the Late Iron Age. Nearby Câtel Fort is an 18th century guardhouse, built when a French invasion was feared at Grève de Lecq. Down in the bay are Grève de Lecq Barracks, construction of which began in 1810 when another invasion was feared during the Napoleonic wars. They are the only surviving barracks in the island, having been in use until the 1920s, housing 250 garrison troops.
