A Battery Hill cannon Empty covers awaiting the return of the cannons
Marten said the historical significance of Battery Hill could not be overestimated. The cannons and their carriages were extremely rare and to have a full set of the six was even rarer. He said the powder magazine, located in the scrub a stone’s throw from the artillery, was also significant. Most of site's six cannon are currently off-site for restoration of their teak carriages.
