Part of the Halifax Defence Complex. Chain Battery and Chain Rock were basic fortifications built on the natural terrain to protect the Northwest Arm. Unlike most of the other fortifications, the battery here was not rebuilt in the 1800s, so it retains its original 1762 layout. Because it was abandoned so early, the area has been reforested for most of the historic period.
