Nothing survives in an area of what appears to be cleared ground of a light anti aircraft gun emplacement identified from RAF WW II oblique air photographs (S309, frames 6959 and 6959A, flown 2 October 1941). It is situated immediately S of a second light anti aircraft position (NT28SE 5.10) and about 100m N of A group 6-inch coastal battery (NT28SE 5. 03).
The gun site visible on the air photographs shows a circular low walled emplacement possibly of brick with a low rectangular flat roofed building on the W side.

About 46m SE from the approximate position of the AA emplacement noted above is what may be a single emplacement for a light anti aircraft gun. A low platform with a small square concrete base at each side, possibly the bases for ammunition lockers.
The feature is not noted on any of the plans of the Island.
