Spur Battery is an artillery battery in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. It is located in the Upper Battery area of the southern end of the Upper Rock Nature Reserve just southwest of O’Hara’s Battery. A 9.2-inch Mark X breech-loading gun was mounted on the emplacement in 1902 with improvements made to the battery after World War I. In 1981 the 9.2-inch gun at Spur Battery was dismantled and transferred to the Imperial War Museum in Duxford England for preservation.
