Information about battery 8-6:
This battery with three guns was built in 1881 on top of the Tavannes tunnel and had three firing platforms and a shelter. During the Battle of Verdun, the battery was not rearmed, but served as an ammunition depot and as a shelter for the troops.
This battery is the only remnant in the immediate vicinity that can still be entered safely.
