WWII Improvised battery in Apleichau - a possible location (B) with a platform of unknown origin [????- ]

Found this concrete structure right next to the gate to the base of the service reservoir. The roof is gone. I remember I read some article mentioning the defenders blew up the battery structures before they retreat.

Some other articles had mentioned the Aberdeen Battery had been an improvised one with two 4 inch guns.  Earlier before I went up the hill trying to look for traces of the remains of these, but I don't know what I've found has anything to do with them:

Hi there,

This one might have been repaired a bit. The exterior, with the exception of the roof, had been laid with granite. The roof has quite a few holes and the other time I walked by I saw a squirrel dived into it.

I hope someone could enlighten me a bit on what exactly is this structure.

I will also sent some photos later.
