| Date opened | November 1962 |
| Date closed | September 1991 |
| Location | At the end of a line of telegraph poles in an overgrown rectangular compound 15 yards south of an un-named minor road. |
| Description | OPEN There are concrete steps for access on both sides of an earth bank alongside the road. All surface features remain intact with some flaking of the grey/green. A metal dome and aerial bracket on the ventilation shaft indicates this was a master post. The hatch is open but is very rusty. Internally the post has been trashed and is covered in graffiti. The cupboard doors have been pulled off, the table & shelf are detached, as is a rack of small shelves and a sloping table. Other items include the BPI mount (detached), coax, wiring, rack of Dexion shelves and a sign, which says 'Danger unexploded maroon' The post is strewn with rubbish, and there is a little water on the floor at the bottom of the shaft. |
| Remaining Surface Structures |
A section of concrete block wall from the aircraft post stands alongside. |
