Situated north east of the village of Paull, this anti aircraft
battery formed part of the air defence system of Hull. It was a
concrete structure consisting of four separate emplacements and a
camp site. When the site was surveyed by the Fortress Studies Group
in 1992 as part of the Holderness Survey only the huts remained, some
of which were in good condition. The emplacements are totally
destroyed, although the magazines remain. (1)
