Field Visit (21 February 2020)
Three small pyramidical concrete blocks, each measuring about 0.45m square by 0.3m in height, are situated at the edge of the stony beach to the N of the site of the Searchlight Battery (NH86NW 339). It is possible that they were introduced to the Cromarty defences by the Admiralty in the First World War.
