Archaeology Notes

NT58NW 34 512 869

2 x 6" guns in place 1945.

N H Clark 1986; A Saunders 1984.

The reference and location to this site being on Fidra Island is probably incorrect and Clark and Saunders presumably are referring to the coastal battery at NT 5029 8596 (NT58NW 34). No gun battery is known on the Island.
