English: This image, taken in September, 2010, looks easterly through the viewing slit from inside the data booth of Battery Kellogg Pit B, Fort Banks, WInthrop, MA.
The heavy vegetation at right rear is growing on top of the large earthen ramp that was built in 1992 by the Town of Winthrop when it excavated this pit, which had been filled after WW2. Kennedy Road runs from left (north) to right (south) just on the other side of the telephone pole visible at center.
The concrete-filled circle visible at center-left is the only one of the four former mortar firing positions that is now completely visible. Another position (to the right of the one visible) is mostly covered by the ramp, and two more lay between these two and the east wall of the pit.
Note the encroaching vines that are now starting to grow through the viewing slit.
