Work is being carried out to repair part of Jersey's Elizabeth Castle.
The Jersey Heritage Trust said water is damaging a turret and scaffolding has been erected around the north east corner to assess what work is needed.
Trust Director Jon Carter said: "The scaffolding is around a 'pepper pot', which is a sentry box that was built in about 1668.
"Water is getting into brickwork through the lead dome roof, which has a piece missing."
Work began on Elizabeth Castle during the 1550s. It was bought by the States of Jersey in 1923.
