Summary

Lower Hope Point Battery was constructed in 1898 on the site of an older battery. It housed a number of 12 pounder quick-firing guns. The guns were present in 1905 and most likely during World War I. They were withdrawn shortly after the end of this conflict and the position abandoned. No trace now remains.
