Drawing of a 12 Pounder QF Gun

History - 1896 Plan

Plan of the 6-Inch QF Emplacement

The layout of Magazine for the 6-Inch QF Gun as seen today differs to that shown on the original plan. The plan did not show the inland Cartridge Store. It is likely that this was added during construction, or shortly afterwards. It is very unlikely that it was added after the guns had been moved down the hill.
