This emplacement held a 40 mm anti-aircraft gun. It was probably a 3.7cm Flak cannon which was a series of anti-aircraft cannon produced in Germany that saw widespread service in the Second World War. The cannon was fully automatic and effective against aircraft flying at altitudes up to 4,200 meters.
From the observation platform of the bunker there are splendid views over Randesund, Flekkerøy and the sea.
