Engineer Battery

Engineer Battery was at the southern end of the Line Wall Curtain which starts at the North Bastion. The battery was at the end of what was the fortification wall for the western coast of the town which protected it from bombardment by ships in the Bay of Gibraltar.[2] The Line Wall Curtain, as it stands, was built by the British in the 18th century running north–south as part of the Line Wall western defenses.[3] In 1859 there was just one gun at the Engineer Battery guarding the northern edge of Rosia Bay and two nearby magazines.[4] but by 1897 the battery had three 12 pounder QF guns.[5]
