| Popis: | Battery 208 and associated buildings are located at the Fourth Cliff Recreation Annex of Hanscom Air Force Base. Battery 208 is situated on the highest point of Fourth Cliff and is positioned so that its guns commanded a position facing the Atlantic. The battery, consisting of two gun emplacements flanking an earth- covered concrete magazine complex, had a concrete observation tower directly to the north and an observation station and attached barracks directly to the south. The complex was designed to blend with previously constructed oceanfront cottages.
