This concrete and brick built battery is situated to the NE of Carlingnose Quarry. It consists of two 6-inch gun emplacements with magazines below and an observation post. The battery was built before World War One with the guns being installed in 1902. The guns were removed to Pettycur Battery (NT28NE 48.00) in 1916. Planning permission has been passed to build a house adjacent to this site. J Guy 1994; NMRS MS 810/3, 110-113; WO/192/101
