It was built in 1757 by the Order of Saint John, and was considered as an outwork of Fort Manoel.

The battery became obsolete with the construction of Fort Tigné in 1795, and it was briefly used as a summer residence before being demolished.

The battery had a triangular gun platform and a small blockhouse attached to one side, and it was surrounded by a ditch.

The battery became obsolete when Fort Tigné was built in 1795,[2] and its artillery was removed.

It became a summer residence of the knight Fra Amante de Fargues.
