Spurn Head is a sand spit at the mouth of the Humber, England.
In WWI 2 9.2" batteries were added at either end of Spurn Head, with 4" and 4.7" QF guns inbetween. The emplacements can be clearly seen, and the northern ones are particuarly interesting as coastal erosion has part toppled them onto the beach, revealing the size of the concrete foundations very well. The Information Centre has a useful leaflet describing the defences.
