Elephanta Island Battery is also known as Cannon Hill Battery.  The battery was built in about 1907 and mounted two 7.5-inch BL guns in barbette mounts.  Both guns bear the cipher of King Edward IV.  The two 7.5-inch guns are situated over 200 metres apart and therefore have their own underground works including magazine.  The use of 7.5-inch BL guns by the British was unusual.
