Visited this today with Bryag after the snow foiled our initial plans (again 
)
This was a WW1 battery, apparently it wasn't used in WW2, but some of the graffitti from workmen there in 1940 would suggest otherwise... It was armed with 4 Quick Firing 4-inch guns, 2 to each position, with underground magazines directly behind each position, cut into the rock. Little remains of the other buildings, mainly just the concrete bases, a toilet block, and one other building.
The approach :
Toilet block and mast base :
One set of holdfasts :
Holdfast and field of fire :
Steps into magazine :
Steelwork still in-situ
WW1 concrete - good stuff :
Graffitti from 1931 :
And 1940 :
Overview of one set of holdfasts :
A wee shot of Bryag's driving skillzzz, steep hill
This was a good wee explore, rather enjoyed myself in spite of the cold
Lastly, a shot of the view from this place :
