Anlegget består blant annet av kanonstillionger, løpegraver, bunkerser og maskingeværreder, og ble bygget for å k
ontrollere skipsleden mot Murmansk.
The facility consists of, among other things, cannon motions, runners, bunkers and machine defenders, and was built to control the shipwreck against Murmansk.
I Gamvik ble det anlagt kystbatteri i 1942 med oppgave å sikre skipsleden, hindre fiendtlig bruk av nærliggende fjorder, samt i samarbeid med batteri Berlevåg å sperre innseilingen til Tanafjorden.

I forbindelse med sperringene var det utlagt 26 personellminer. Styrken var på 130 mann.
I tilknytning med batteriet var det opprettet signalstasjon og luftvaktpost.
Anlegget ble sprengt og batteriet (4HAA 480) flyttet til Buksnes i Lofoten høsten 1944.
