The First World War Coastal Battery centred on Hound Point comprised two gun emplacements 22m apart, each incorporating ammunition lockers and crew shelters (NT17NE 70.01), a magazine, an engine house and a Battery Observation Post (BOP) immediately to the SW (NT17NE 70.02), buildings (probably administration, stores and accommodation) about 25m to the W of the gun emplacements (NT17NE 70.03), and pillboxes (NT17NE 70.04) which formed two rings of defence around the battery. Each of the individual elements of the battery is described within its subnumbered record.
