Situated about 900m due N from Montreathmont Camp is the communications block with mast(s).
The camp and radio mast complex are visible on postwar vertical air photographs (RAF CPE/Scot/UK 218, 3036-3038, flown 25 June 1947) and the complex, including at least 18 of the masts to the N are depicted on the 1:10000 scale map (1989).
