Some broken concrete debris under a hedge (NS 45291 70833 and NS 45171 70817) in an area now occupied by three large farm buildings is all that remains of a World War Two heavy anti-aircraft battery visible on a RAF air photograph (M/013/F309 3642) flown on 6 June, 1941. It was one of at least 43 such batteries that were constructed to protect the industries in the centre of Glasgow and along the banks of the River Clyde from aerial attack by the Luftwaffe during WWII
