"The Dips"

Does anyone remember the gun facilities which stood where the dips are today. I remember playing "catch a girl, kiss a girl" there in the summer of 1953.
They seemed enormous, half below ground level and very smelly (the gun emplacements I mean!). They must have been removed in the '60's.
Anyway the dips are now going to be filled in using dredgings from the Marine Lake and a Morrisons is to be built on them.
Has anyone any more information?
