Field Visit (15 November 2013)
Despite previous recording by RCAHMS, this is a Second World War LAA gun emplacment and supporting buildings. Three huts bases and the remains of a brick magazine lie below a ridge, on which is a hexangonal concrete platform for a light anti-aircraft gun. A flight on concrete steps connects the gun emplacement and the huts and magazine.
Visited by RCAHMS (AKK) 11 October 2013.
