It was located at the northern end of Catalan Bay at the point where the road down to the village meets the main road.[1] An anti-aircraft gun position was established here during World War II from 1941 to 1944.[1] Two 3.7-inch Mk. II mobile anti-aircraft guns mounted on Mk. III platforms were installed on the battery in April 1941. They were removed on 21 July 1944.[2] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Ehlen|first1=Judy|last2=Harmon|first2=Russell S.|title=The environmental legacy of military operations|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kbpS12tpG3AC&pg=PA110|accessdate=1 April 2013|year=2001|publisher=Geological Society of America|isbn=978-0-8137-4114-7|page=110}} {{Fortifications of Gibraltar}}{{Gibraltar-struct-stub}}2. ^1 {{cite book|title=Strong as the Rock of Gibraltar|last1=Hughes|first1=Quentin|last2=Migos|first2=Athanassios|publisher=Exchange Publications|year=1995|page=381}} 1 : Batteries in Gibraltar |
