| Location | In an irregularly shaped compound just north of trig. Station on the east side of an un-named minor road. |
| Description | OPEN All surface features remain intact with some green paint remaining. The louvres on the ventilation shaft are missing. There is a 30 foot aerial mast fixed to the FSM pipe with a 7 element beam aerial on top of it. The hatch is open. Internally the posted is flooded to a depth of two inches. Only the cupboard remains from ROC days. The post appears to be used as a store with several items of old radio equipment (some ex-army). The aerial mast above comes down the FSM pipe and is resting on the floor. |
| Remaining Surface Structures |
A small concrete building that may once have been an Orlit A stands in one corner of the compound. Its height has been increased with one coarse of breezeblocks with a locked door at one end and a new roof. It is pained orange but some original green paint is visible beneath this. There is a modern prefabricated building within the compound with several radio masts attached to it. The building is locked. An amateur radio club probably owns the site. |
