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) identifies what may have been trenches (‘25. P.A.D.’ (Passive Air Defences)) at this location, but no trace of these were observed on the date of visit. They are shown to have been incorporated into a large mound on an aerial photograph (CPE/Scot/UK/0293 SFFO 0045) flown on 17 September 1947.
Visited by HES, Survey and Recording (ATW, AKK, KLG), 30 March 2019.
