This group of three rifle ranges is located on the Spion Kop, to the N of the Buddon Ness Old High Lighthouse [NO53SW 21]. The current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1974) shows a possible firing area but this does not match any of the three ranges visible on RCAHMS aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 2003). These ranges probably date from the late 1970s or later.
