NC91SE 32.09 97257 10401
An earth covered bunker with a single mast base is visible on postwar RAF vertical air photographs (CPE/Scot/UK 225, 3425-3426, flown 27 June 1946) about 150m SE of NC91SE 32.08 overlooking the beach by Crackaig Links. The bunker forms part of the wartime development of this radar station.
The bunker would appear to have retained the earth covering in the period since 1946, as only two entrances are depicted on the current OS digital 1:2500 scale map. The structure is also visible as a earth covered mound on more recent Fairey Survey vertical air photographs (colour) , (Fairey Surveys Ltd, SDD Coastal strip, 42. 241- 42. 242, flown 28 May 1975).
