- The floor is filled with rubble that was left here after they gathered iron from the doors, ceiling and walls. They weren't really thorough, as most likely the battery stood well the blasts from the explosives.

- The main entrance door on the southern side of the battery, contains bullet holes. I've not really seen any notes about these in the books and other notes that I've read about the Krepost Sveaborg. It's a question mark if these were shot to the door, during the civil war or after that. Still the whole mark from the bullet, has rusted so these did not appear to the door yesterday. One bullet hole is inside of the battery and two are on the outside.
