Good day.
Visited today and am reporting an update.
Can confirm this ROC is still open. Situated on farmers land, all land surrounding is crops, be careful. Farmers on site with tractors.
Unfortunately, this ROC has seen major vandalism from the last pictures with pretty much everything being smashed up and destroyed, on the ground. There is some graffiti on the walls and the ladder is a bit rusty.
Quite difficult to access, 2 barbed wire gates from nearest parking space.
The surface is still completely intact with both vents and the hatch still in place, all green paint has gone, it is just stone.
A couple years ago this was in better condition than nearby Broad Chalke ROC, but unfortunately the vandals have ruined it.
