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 tent (’20. Tent') at this location. This seems to have been replaced by a small hut shown on an aerial photograph (CPE/Scot/UK/0293 SFFO 0045) flown on 17 September 1947, but no trace of this was observed on the date of visit.
Visited by HES, Survey and Recording (ATW, AKK, KLG), 30 March 2019.
