Architecture Notes

NT28SE 5.30 29443 82595

Situated immediately SSE of the central fire control group (NT28SE 5.09), is what may have been a light anti-aircraft emplacement. a concrete platform surrounded by a semi-circular brick wall set over underground compartments.

No holdfast was found on the date of visit and it is not clear just what this possible position was for. The position is noted on the official plan of the Island and annotated as 'B Group D.R.F' (RCAHMS MS 879/83).

Visited by RCAHMS (DE), DE, AL), 4th and 5th March 2009
