The Halswell Battery Emplacement is where the triangular pyramid is(below). The Massey Memorial has since been built over the emplacement. The underground magazine rooms are still there. The gun pit has been lined with marble and is the Massey's last resting place. The object far right of the picture was the battery's observation post.
