The breeze block radar platform and ramp for a GL Mk II Radar set is situated in rough grazing about 145m N of the four gun-emplacement. The platform is surrounded by the posts for a GL-mat, some still with the wire attached. The outline of the octagon shaped Gl-mat can just be made out on the ground.
