Middle Hill Battery, Artillery battery on Middle Hill, Gibraltar
The military site contains a rectangular concrete enclosure with positions for six large guns arranged in two rows of three positions each.
In 1727, Middle Hill Battery started with a signal gun, and by 1900 it housed six 10-inch rifled muzzle-loading guns with a range of 9000 yards.
The Gibraltar Ornithological and Natural History Society uses the concrete platform at Middle Hill to study bird migrations between Europe and Africa.
The location includes original magazine rooms and store rooms within the surrounding concrete emplacement, with one room converted into the Aardvark Bar.
The battery structure incorporates two Position Finding Stations constructed between 1893 and 1902, with cells built for military observation purposes.
