research in the war diaries identified documentary evidence for this site and its activity (WO 192/306). A detailed facility report informs us that there was one Barr and Stroud Rangefinder No.12, three 6inch B.L.Mk.VII. guns and three Fortress Projectors Mk.V. searchlights operating at the site with 102 men. The site was part of the Calshot Fire Command along with Calshot Battery and Hook Bungalow Battery under 539 (Southampton) Coast Regt. R.A(R.H.Q). Further detail covers beach and land targets and a distribution of Fire Scheme for night and day engagements.
