Event	Type	Subtype	Notes	Date
1108193	RECORDING	FIELD VISIT	This grass-grown pile of reinforced cast concrete and brick rubble, situated in rough pasture 19.5m E of the E gun emplacement (NJ86NW 10.9), is all that remains of a battery observation post. It measures 10m from NNE to SSW by 7m transversely. Traces of two rectangular compartments are visible below the detritus. The better preserved on the SSW measures 3m from WNW to ESE by 2.8m within brick walls 0.24m thick and 0.95m high. A lintel adhering to a large fragment of a flat concrete roof marks what may be the remains of a doorway on the WNW. Another large fragment also retains what may be a small circular vent for the chimney of a stove and a moulded gutter along one edge of the slab. [...]	28 April 2019
1087747	RECORDING	FIELD VISIT	This grass and bracken-grown foxhole is situated in rough pasture 34m SSE of the road leading WSW from the North Sutor battery. It is cut-back into the SE-facing slope and measures 1.2m from NNW to SSE by 1m transversely and up to 0.3m in depth. There is an upcast bank on the SSE. [...]	28 March 2019
1087769	RECORDING	FIELD VISIT	All that is now visible of this mast, which once stood on a platform cut into a S-facing slope, are three of its four concrete anchor points, set out on a 6.6m square (measured from the centre of the blocks). The block on the NE is missing and the base of the mast are both missing, having been destroyed by the construction of the latrine NH86NW 9.43. The surviving blocks all measure 0.92m square and up to 0.9m high with chamfered edges. They have low pyramidal summits from the centre of which a single steel angle iron, measuring up to 0.42m high, projects away from the centre of the setting. The irons contain perforations for the attachment of guy-lines. [...]	28 March 2019
