Full Description

A small circular structure, possibly made of concrete, can be seen on photographs from 1944 onwards. It appears to have been constructed some time after July 1940. It may actually be a concrete ring, or it may have a hollow in the top. It may have been an emplacement for a single gun. (S1) (S2) (S3)
It was removed between 1955 and 1965.
