Summary

There is a fleeting reference to an anti-aircraft battery on Pendennis Point in a Fort Record Book entry of November 1943. Aerial photographs taken in April 1941 indicate four unidentified 'equipments' on the carriage park at the Point. These guns are likely to have been lightweight and mobile perhaps parked on the road. No permanent archaeological trace seems likely.
