NT 189 826 Monitoring and recording was carried out between January and March 2004 during rubble clearance within the ruins of WW1 and WW2 military structures (see DES 2003, 76). The need for remedial work came from an examination of the old military tunnel that cuts under the hill top at the E end of the island. This WW1 construction contains a vertical shaft at its midpoint, measuring 2.75m along its N-S axis with a width of 2.45m. The shaft had a visible height of 4.95m, at which point it was covered over with large iron plates. The concrete slab over the iron plates sealing the shaft was in reasonable condition and did not seem to be on the verge of collapse.
