six grands encuvements circulaires en béton avec niches à munitions attenantes => these "niches à munitions" are just one next to each of the "six grands encuvements circulaires" and are meant to be used to keep a relatively small quantity of ammunition close to the guns - not to be a longer term "storage" for larger stocks of ammunition.
Used to keep "a relatively small quantity of ammunition" that is immediately available for the gun crew, NOTHING ELSE - and it's NOT "a building", it's no more than a hole in the ground at the edge of these big "encuvements".
I found that the ammunition is often kept close to the big field guns in "ammunition bunkers" - seem to be comparable to "niches à munitions"
BTW a "military depot" would hold large quantities of all kind of military supply (not only ammunition), and certainly would NOT be anywhere near a field gun.
