The heritage register nearby (linked where the record keeps one) and the library’s photograph collections carry the fuller story. **What’s on the register near Erskine Point Battery (Historic)?** 3 listed places within 300m, each opens its own record from this page. **Is the site open to visit?** The map doesn’t say, an archaeological site may be private land, delicate ground or both. Treat the pin as where the record puts it, not an invitation. --- The position and the tags are OpenStreetMap’s, a named node or way tagged historic=ruins or historic=archaeological_site inside the city boundary (ODbL). A name is the mapper’s, a lead, not a register listing. An old site may be private land or delicate ground; the pin is not an invitation.
