From a sign posted at the site:\n\nTo guard the Bay, brick and masonry fortifications were buil on both sides of the Golden Gate. A huge Rodman cannon mounted here could set up a lethal overlapping crossfire with similar guns at Fort Point. Some of the brickwork from the 1870s gun emplacements is still visible along the path.\n\nAs long-range weapons were developed, a new concrete battery - Battery Spencer - was constructed at the end of this point in 1895. Spencer mounted three 12-inch rifles, two of which were still in use almost half a century later. In 1943 the battery was disarmed and the guns scrapped, victims of the evolving technology of war.
