The battery is now in the hands of the Mosta Local Council, who intend to restore it and open it to the public.

[1] The battery has a pentagonal shape, and it contains a caponier, casemated gun emplacements, an escarpment and a ditch.

In 1888, when it was still under construction, the battery's design was criticized by a number of British engineers.

The decision was taken to complete the battery, but it never received its intended armament of four 64-pounder RML guns.

[3] The site is now the Mosta Scout Group's campsite and activity centre.
