Field Visit (28 March 2019)
All that is now visible of this mast, which once stood on a platform cut into a S-facing slope, are three of its four concrete anchor points, set out on a 6.6m square (measured from the centre of the blocks). The block on the NE is missing and the base of the mast are both missing, having been destroyed by the construction of the latrine NH86NW 9.43. The surviving blocks all measure 0.92m square and up to 0.9m high with chamfered edges. They have low pyramidal summits from the centre of which a single steel angle iron, measuring up to 0.42m high, projects away from the centre of the setting. The irons contain perforations for the attachment of guy-lines.
