Wales Gun Placement, Battery, Lavernock Point

The battery was triangular shaped with four gun emplacements, a protective ditch, barracks, a laboratory, and a magazine. Most of the battery has been demolished and the ditch filled in; a swimming pool has been built over one of the magazines. What remains is included in a holiday caravan and chalet park.
The World War II-era battery covers an area about 80 by 55 metres (87 by 60 yd) and also had four gun emplacements, each of which had some storage for ready-use ammunition. A larger magazine was positioned between two of the gun pits. All of the guns were controlled by a central director-rangefinder observation position. This battery is in good shape and has been listed as an Scheduled Ancient Monument.
