NS 337 772 The site of a WW2 heavy anti-aircraft gun installation was surveyed. Four gun positions are arranged in an arc around an underground command post; all are well preserved. A further two gun positions were identified and these may be the remains of 4.7" guns installed after the usual 3.75" guns described above. A further two gun positions survive as 4m diameter circular concrete pads, details of the gun mounts at each location are preserved. The site therefore appears to have a series of adaptations bringing the total gun positions to eight. The camp buildings and the radar mat area
no longer survive, but are known from aerial photographs of the site. This project is part of a complete survey of military remains along the N Clyde Estuary coastline.
