Princess Royal's Battery - a photo on Flickriver

            Description from pinkroutes.com:

"In 1886 it was proposed to mount a 6-inch BL Mark IV gun here and In 1901, approval was given for two 6-inch (152 mm) guns to be mounted at Princess Royal’s Battery. One emplacement was to have a range of 6,000 yards (5,500 m), to bear on the enemy’s land batteries. The other was to have double the range, 12,000 yards (11,000 m), to target vessels in the Mediterranean. On 21 July 1902, work began on a 6-inch breech loading Mark VII gun. By November 1903, a single 6-inch BL Mark VII gun had been mounted with work completed by 24 May 1904.

In December 1915, a replacement 6-inch breech loading Mark VII gun was mounted in the battery and remained until the 1920s.  There is only one-gun pit at this location, so it is assumed the second 6-inch gun was never installed.  The battery features subterranean, bombproof storage areas for shells and cartridges with shell hoists and crew shelters."
