Situated some 50m west of and downslope from the Ex-DO post, and at the edge of a steep slope overlooking the Clyde at its narrowest point, is a rectangular platform that has been cut into the slope. Probably constructed to support a timber building, it measures 7m from N to S by 5m transversely within a rear scarp 0.9m in depth and a front apron 1.2m in height and containing a number of large stones. The north end of the platform, the outlook and position of which are suggestive of military activity, has been disturbed by fallen trees and vegetation.
