GRENADE RANGE

This range is situated about 300m to the NW of the 100m zeroing range (NO85.01] and is marked on the current edition of the OS 1:10,000 map (1974). The range is oriented NNW to SSE and comprises a range control tower, a preparation and throwing structure and a target area. The structure incorporates two matching troop shelters, priming bays and throwing bays, arranged in mirror image, with the throwing bays in the centre. Immediately behind is the control tower. The impact area in front is bounded on three sides by an earth bank, with an outer wire fence.
