Full Description

Eyke Auxiliary unit operational base (S1).

The OB is situated on the edge of a mature woodland that adjoins the playing field. In order to prevent children from accessing it both entrance and access were blocked a few years ago. Three small depressions can be observed on the ground, two right beside each other and a third about 16 metres distant, indicating the location of both exit and entrance (S2).
