According to Kerrigan (1995, 204-214) this battery was under construction between 1794 and 1795. He describes it as 'an earthwork battery for six 24-pounders, which would have been capable of commanding the full width of the river, which is a mile wide from Battery Point across to the Co. Clare shore to the north-west.' The area of this battery is now covered by dense vegetation overgrowth.
