4.7-inch QF Gun Emplacement and Magazines built in 1892. The northern emplacement later served as the foundation for the battery observation post built in 1941.
The northern emplacement is mostly obscured by the building of a battery observation post over it. However, it is almost identical to its southern counterpart except for a secondary added recess, of concrete slab construction against the northern wing wall, it measures 3ft wide, 2ft 7in deep x 2ft 6in high, with evidence for a light frame around it.
The emplacement is concrete throughout, comprises of a gun floor, a semi-circular wall and sloping apron at the front and wing walls on the flanks. The gun floor, 4ft 4in high, is reached by a flight of steps protected by the north wing wall. The fourteen securing bolts for the holdfast form a circle 4ft in diameter. Staples for uprights of a railing survive around the rear of the gun floor. Three ready-use ammunition lockers are set into the back of the gun floor, a larger central one, 2ft 11in wide, 3ft 7in deep x 3ft 2in high and 1ft 9in wide, 2ft 1in high respectively, these appear to have been open lockers. All ere approached by a separate flight of steps which spans the width of the emplacement.
The walls of the emplacement rise 2ft 2in above the gun floor, to the north is a dial recess, 1ft wide, 7in deep x 7i5in high, which is rebated for a timber surround. Its southern side contains a fourth ready-use ammunition locker, 3ft 1in wide, 3ft 7in deep x 3ft 4in high, also with a wooden frame for outward-opening double doors.
Another recess, formed of concrete slabs, is 3ft wide, 2ft 7in deep x 2ft 6in high and built against the southern wing wall, it is a secondary feature. A concrete platform, 5ft 4in x 6ft 4in, attached to the south-eastern side of the apron has no obvious function. The dial recess, the southern recess in the gun floor and that abutting the south wing wall are all later additions. There are remains of secondary electric lighting in the emplacement.

This image was taken in 2008 whilst walking around Mitford village in Northumberland and as you can see it is not one of my best shots, however I entered the Mitford Village Show a few weeks ago in the photographic section which one of the subjects was 'Defences'
The wooden sea defences built in the late '50s at Happisburgh, North Norfolk have been failing over the last few years, and large chunks of the sandy cliffs are regularly falling into the sea
