The battery was located at the south end of the King's Lines on the north-west face of the Rock of Gibraltar. It comprised a casemated battery built on two levels, each of which had two embrasures built into the old Spanish defences constructed above the then Puerta de Villavieja some time in the 16th century. The battery was partly built over when the King's Lines Battery was constructed. It was recorded as housing one 18-pdr (8.1 kg) and one 4-pdr (1.8 kg) in 1781, two 18-pdrs and one 24-pdr (10.9 kg) carronade in 1834, two 24-pdrs in 1859 and two 12-pdrs (5.4 kg) in 1885. It was re-equipped during the Second World War with a 25-pdr (11.3 kg) installed in 1941 and a 17-pdr (7.7 kg) anti-tank gun installed in 1943.[1] References1. ^{{cite book|title=Strong as the Rock of Gibraltar|last1=Hughes|first1=Quentin|last2=Migos|first2=Athanassios|publisher=Exchange Publications|year=1995|page=192}} {{Fortifications of Gibraltar}}{{Gibraltar-stub}} 2 : Batteries in Gibraltar|Barracks in Gibraltar |
