NH75NE 30 centred 7720 5748
This World War II coast battery is situated on the coast adjacent to a NW-SE running group of rifle ranges to the E of Fort George (NH75NE 3).
Very little remains of this battery, one pile of broken concrete may possibly be No.2 gun emplacement, which has the appearance of being been blown up. In addition, one UP (unrotating projectile) mounting survives on the site.
The battery was armed with 2 x 4-inch Naval guns in August 1940 which were replaced by 2 x 5.5-inch Mk.I/PI guns in February 1943. The battery was placed on a care and maintainance basis in April 1945 and the guns removed in October 1945.
