Summary

[edit]
Description
English: WWII Gun Emplacement This ring of concrete is all that is left of one of the gun emplacements at Brownstone Battery, built for defensive purposes in the Second World War. This was one of two guns at the Battery. The gun housed in here was a 6 inch naval gun taken from an old First World War Battleship. It could throw a shell 14 miles. This gun would have been operated by two teams of 13 men working in shifts.
