A rifle range near Magdalen Fields was established around the turn of the century.. The first mention of the range is in the Alnwick Guardian, when Earl Percy looked to acquire land with the approval of the War Office. I assume this is partly due to regulations but also as it was site was close to military land but owned by the Earl. It was opened in June 1900, as the "new rifle range" is reported on in the Illustrated Berwick Journal at a length of 500 yards. It was opened in showery weather in the presence of a large number of military and civilians. A match was held between the KOSB depot, the Berwick Volunteer Artillery and the Berwick Rifles.

The site closed only 7 years later, which caused a "serious handicap" to the members of the auxiliary forces in the borough". A new site was established in the north of the town in 1914, with 8 targets at Brotherstons Hole. The scheme included butts at each 100 yards and one machine gun with grounds of about 50 acres. The architects of this site were Messrs Graham and Hill of Newcastle, with the contractors Messrs Gray and Sons.

At some stage, though unclear, a rifle range was constructed on the town walls and was extant well into the 60s. This one does appear to be in use by volunteers as is mentioned alongside the tennis and crickets clubs of the town. The MOD do appear to have retained ownership of the land, made clear in the Berwick Advertiser as Berwick Bowling Club were interested in leasing it. A Berwick Rifle Club is referenced in 1971, partaking in the regional Border Rifle League.

Though the boundary of the range is extant, there are no remaining buildings. They were likely cleared in the last half century.
