Battery Rocks, Penzance
Battery Rocks (grid reference) are a rocky headland situated to the south of the harbour of Penzance, Cornwall, UK. The rocks take their name from a gun battery that was situated there from 1740, following a petition by Penzance Borough council for protection from French naval attacks. The rocks are the setting for the Penzance war memorial and the restored Grade II Listed Jubilee Pool.
