The Torry Point Battery was built on an earlier 19th century fort and used in the First World War. During WWI the armament consisted of a pair of 6 inch Mk VII/II guns which were removed in 1934. This calibre and mark of gun was returned to the Battery in 1940 during the Second World War and not removed until 1956. The Battery has been demolished, but parts of it may still remain buried at this site.
