A flat roofed concrete building on two levels acted as a Fire Command Post, for all the guns in the area. The radar would have been positioned on the roof. The building still has some of the metal shutters to protect the windows and a metal door. The exterior still has some camouflage paint visible.
According to the Fort Record Book (The National Archives WO 192/248) the post was under construction in 1939-1940 and was operational on the 2nd February 1940.
