Summary

Description
English: The gun and mount from the Levant Battery in Gibraltar. Photo taken with the kind permission of Metalrok Limited.

Levant Battery is located at the southern end of the Upper Rock Nature Reserve, on Windmill Hill positioned below the observation post Fire Control South. Levant Battery received its name from its position below the Levanter cloud which can be a common and localised meteorological occurence in Gibraltar. The position of Levant Battery afforded it an unobstructed field of view when other, higher batteries, such as, Spur, O'Hara's, Lord Airey's, and Breakneck were limited by reduced visibility from the cloud.

The Gun barrel and mount pictured here was dismantled and removed from Levant Battery approximately 40 years ago and has been resting on its original trailer at Metalrok scrapyard since then.
