Built in 1941 with three 6" guns with a range of 24,550 yards. It was manned by 520 Coastal Regiment, Royal Artillery. The western most gun was placed so that in the event of invasion it could be fired on Folkestone Harbour.
This is the Plotting room which was sealed in the 60s and re-opened in 2003.
