The gun emplacement was one of three in the battery, each armed with a 6-inch BL Mark VII gun (Source: The University of Chicago Hong Kong), with cartridges and shells stored separately below ground in an underground magazine.  In addition to its distinctive curved rear blast wall, a splinter-proof shelter was constructed at the rear of the emplacement to provide accommodation and protection for the gun crew.
