Off the top of my head, I'd address this question to the Imperial War Museum : http://www.iwm.org.uk/
I couldn't find any specific information , but you might also try this link: http://www.36regimentra.org.uk/ and ask someone there (the 36th appears to have served primarily in Gibraltar and Egypt... but there MUST be some serious Artillery-geeks at that site who could help you.)
A VERY specific question I wish I could answer

There was definitely a barrage balloon site, so I reckon it's more than likely that there was an anti-aircraft and searchlight battery there. Try this web page, it has a list of balloon sites and maybe the one you are after is on it, sorry I couldn't help more, good luck, hope you find what you are after.
