The Barron Plan was an Anglo-Portuguese plan for military infrastructure developed after World War II, to provide coastal defences for the Portuguese capital of Lisbon and the major port of Setúbal. These defences were installed between 1948 and 1958, involving fixed batteries along the banks of the Tagus and Sado rivers and on the Atlantic Ocean side of the Setúbal peninsula. The batteries were manned by the Coastal Artillery Regiment (RAC).[1][2]
