The site of a horseshoe-shaped gun battery built on the water's edge at the east end of Peel Bay between 1795-1797. This battery replaced one destroyed by a storm in 1793. A small piece of C15 or early C16 century cannon was found below the low watermark in this area in 1863 and may indicate an even earlier battery existed on the site (Curphy 1967; 1968). (PastScape)
