Monument record TR 34 NE 277 - St Margarets Bay Coastal Battery

Summary

St Margaret’s Bay Battery was visible on aerial photographs taken in 1941 and 1942 and 1946, and was located in St Margaret’s at Cliffe. The battery contained four guns and went out of use after WWII, thus only some elements were still visible in 1949 and 1950. The whole site was no longer visible, and partially built upon in 2007.
