It is built of brick and concrete and stands to two levels with access from the rear by a flight of concrete steps. The upper floor retains the sighting pillar for 'fall of shot' plotting, whilst the lower floor is of two compartments.

The battery observation tower still retains an external camouflage paint scheme.
