(Location established by GPS as NT 45221 81510). This target indicator is set between the two midget submarines NT48SE 8008 in the intertidal sands of Aberlady Bay. It is about 1100m NNW of Aberlady Point and 1800m SSW of Gullane Point, and about 100m from the water's edge at Low Water Neap tides.

The structure comprises one anti-tank block on top of four others buried in sand; four metal post stanchions are set around. It may fall within Aberlady parish, the boundary between Aberlady and Dirleton parishes being here undefined.
