Field Visit (2 March 2016)
The remains of what may have been a sentry post or machine-gun post are situated in woodland at the edge of bluff, some 40m ESE of a letter box (LB) depicted on the current OS MasterMap. The site takes the form of an enclosure measuring 4.6m in diameter over a wall now reduced to a grass-grown bank about 1m in thickness and 0.6m in height. The enclosure stands at the northern boundary of the Cloch Battery and overlooks the beach.
