[1][2] It originally mounted eight 7-inch Armstrong Rifled Breech Loading (RBL) guns, and enclosed with a Carnot wall.

A rear surrounding wall included a small barrack block for two officers and 57 men.

Between 1898 and 1900 the battery was re-modelled to mount three 6-inch Mk VII Breech Loading guns.

In 1956 on the dissolution of Coast Artillery all of the guns were removed and the site sold off.

The remains of the Battery are now a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
