The battery, along with two six-inch gun emplacements and observation posts, was re-employed during World War II to defend the approaches to Botany Bay.[2] During WWII, it was armed with two 18-pounder Mk IV field guns and two QF 3 pounder Hotchkiss guns.[3] The underground bunker and tunnel complex consisted of vaulted ammunition storage rooms with double walls and ceilings, which were designed to stop them collapsing in the event of a direct hit. The remains of the fortifications can still be seen.
