| Location | In the rear garden of 'Little Doggetts' on the east side of Hyde Wood Lane |
| Description | OPEN. Externally in fair condition although rather weathered. The present owner was going to demolish the surface features a few years ago but had such difficulty removing the air-shaft that he has decided to leave the rest. Internally the post is in excellent condition apart from a little rubble from the air-shaft. The original white paintworkpaint-work is still in good. Remaining features include two bunks and a single bed, cupboard, table, shelf, battery shelf and some wiring. After closure the post was sold back to the farm for £100. |
| Remaining Surface Structures |
A Type B Orlit post, also in good condition, stands nearby amongst some out-buildings. The owners grand-children call it 'the play-house'. |
