Sponsor: Historic Scotland
GUARD 1996.
A brick built circular structure sits on the rocky foreshore at the east end of Belhaven Bay. The structure is built directly on to the rock and is constructed of mortared brick which stands to a maximum height of 7 courses (0.65m). The structure is 2.35m in diameter. The function of this feature is unclear but may be related to WW2 defences.
