Galamērķa baterija tika pabeigta 1912.gadā un teika stāsta, ka ap pirmā pasaules kara laiku (precīzs laiks nav zināms), kad armija bija atkāpusies, kāds gans atrada šo bateriju. Nezinādams par tanī atrodamiem munīcijas krājumiem, gāja bateriju apsakatīt izmantojot lāpu. Tā aizdedzinādams šaujampulvera un munīcijas krājumus, uzspridzināja visu bateriju. Sprādziens bijis dzirdams vairāku kilometru attālumā.

NAV nepieciešams līst zem un uz nestabilām atlūzām, apdraudot savu veselību. Lūgums visu atstāt kā bija.

Not knowing about stocks of ammunition in it, went through a battery with a torch. It set fire to the gunpowder and ammunition and blew up all the battery. The explosion was heard several kilometers away.
