Field Visit (12 March 2019)
This bracken- and grass-grown weapons pit, which is situated on an ESE-facing slope, formed part of the defences of the battery introduced by the Army during World War 2. It is roughly rectangular on plan and comprises a trench measuring 2.6m from WNW to ESE by 1.6m and up to 0.4m in depth with the upcast shaped into a low, protective bank on the NNE. A narrow gully running beneath the adjacent security fence (NH86NW 9.51) allows access from within the battery.
