The gun position for Clem, one of two heavy guns at Wanstone Battery. This Coast Battery was built in 1942 for two 15 inch long range guns to close the Channel to enemy shipping, it was an offensive rather than defensive installation.

This battery had two 15 inch guns, four magazines, two for each gun. There is an underground plotting room, a deep shelter and engine rooms. There was a Battery Observation Post on the cliff top, a radar near South Foreland Lighthouse. The farm houses were used for accommodation with additional huts.
