Field Visit (2 March 2016)
Situated within a disused quarry immediately SSE of the access road to Cloch Caravan Park and about 20m NE of the remains of pump-house, there is a triangular platform built of coursed stone, measuring about 12m from ENE to WSW by up to 4m transversely and about 0.4m in height. A poorly defined hollow and a metal fixing immediately to its ENE may represent the remains of a building annotated ‘coal store’ on a plan of the battery in the possession of the current owners of the caravan park that occupies the site.
