NT17NE 71.06 19744 78734

A small concrete and brick building, possibly a magazine is situated between the twin 6-pounder gun-emplacement (NT17NE 71.03) and No.2 Engine room (NT17NE 71.05).

The building measures about 5.9 by 3.3m overall is cut into the slope and has a concrete roof with vent or chimney and steel framed windows and rest on a concrete platform.

Visited by RCAHMS (DE, AL), May 1998

It is reinforced concrete not brick and concrete, and it is unlikely to have been a magazine since it originally had a chimney (still there in the early 70's) and a stove, together with the window. Most likely a store or shelter for the men.

Information to RCAHMS via e-mail from Mr J Dods (Cramond Heritage Society), April 2006.
