NMRS Report: (19/10/2004)
NG89SW 4.01 81488 92143 and 81526 92126

The two brick and concrete gun-emplacements are relatively complete and both have holdfasts for the gun mounting in place. The two gun-emplacements have steel beams made by Dorman, Long and Cold of Middlesborough. The steelwork at the front is now supported by 'ACRO' jacks and is now believed to be in a dangerous condition. There are various compartments and ready-use ammunition lockers to the rear of both emplacements.
The battery was armed with 2 x 6-inch MkVII guns on Naval mountings from HMS Iron Duke which were installed in July 1941 (J Guy 2000). <1>
