This site consists of about 20 large iron cannon, located between Gibbet and Closenburg Islands. The site extends from close to the shore in a roughly southerly direction down to a depth of about 24 m. Some of the cannon on the shoreward part of the site were badly eroded by sand abrasion and, in some cases; the bore of the gun was exposed. The position of the site is interesting; it lies on what was Gibbet Island, to the west of the entrance (now filled in) to what was once a small bay between Gibbet and Closenburg Islands. This area has been filled in during the development of the harbour. It was thought, at first, that the site was either a shipwreck or a place where cannon had been abandoned, possibly from a battery on Gibbet Island.
