Three brick walled buildings, two to the S of the site and one near the coast, in rough ground annotated 'Leirinbeg' on the current OS 1:2500 scale digital map.
The walls stand to about 2m and within the brick enclosure is a large concrete hut base, originally for a Nissen or other type of hut to house either the transmitting or receiving equipment.
One of the buildings is now in use for rubbish crushing by the Local Council.
