Field Visit (30 March 2019)

An undated sketch map of the battery in the Fort Record Book held at the National Archives at Kew (WO192/248) denotes a building at this location, but no trace of it was observed on the date of visit. It is shown to have been a Nissen Hut on an aerial photograph (CPE/Scot/UK/0293 SFFO 0045) flown on 17 September 1947.
