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.
The bunker housed personnel and ammunition for the gun. Later, the bunker was bricked up. From the bunker roof there is a view over Odderøya, Fredriksholm and Randesund.
