A building standing within a fenced enclosure has been identified from a RAF vertical air photograph (106G/Scot/UK133, 4093, flown 30 June 1946) immediately to the S of the A 836 public road about 400m W of Lybster Smallholdings.
The building is approximately 30-40m in length and also visible on the photograph, are two triangular-shaped depressions extending N and NW. The depressions are of unknown use. Five possible mast bases are also visible in the S part of the enclosure.
This building may be related to the small radio mast at ND 02417 69195.
The building is shown on the current OS digital 1:2500 scale map and was depicted as roofed on the OS 1:10560 scale map (1969).
