Long Business Description
A coastal artillery site was built at Grey Point on the shores of Belfast Lough between 1904 and 1907, to provide security for Belfast port. Housing 6 inch guns and two mark VII saluting guns, it was operational during both world wars and remained manned until 1957. With the fort’s closure its guns were removed. When in 1987 the fort was restored as a historic site, two 6 inch guns Mark VII, were donated by the Irish Defence Forces from coastal defence forts in Cork Harbour .
