(Year is approximate.)
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.
The gun pit is no longer visible at this emplacement. The 1963 aerial map indicates that squatter houses had been constructed on the site, with the original gun pit having been infilled and levelled.
