NT 7439 3738. The ROC Observation post is situated near the top of the hill about 137m N of Cliftonhill farmsteading.

It is of standard design and the compound has a style for access. All surface features were intact, the hatch had no padlock, but is secured with an internal lock which requires a different 'T' bar than posts in England. The post was built in 1960 and closed in 1991.
