At the end of a line of telegraph poles on the brow of a hill in the corner of a field on the south side of an un-made road, a continuation of St. Ninians Road.
LOCKED All surface features remain intact with the paint in
good condition. A replacement Torlift hatch has been fitted, this is locked but can be opened with a Torlift key or a large screwdriver. A dome on the ventilation shaft and a fitting for an aerial mast indicates that this was a
master post. Internally the following artefacts remain: table, shelf, cupboard, Tele-Talk, WB1401 carrier receiver and WB1410 filter unit, BT junction box and wiring, cluster map, mirror, BPI mount, visitors log, battery table, battery box and a cloud chart. There is also a wooden notice
that says ‘Air Ministry Property’.Office Telecoms".
Opened in 1960 and closed in 1991.

The ROC post is now unlocked, the hatch is easily opened but it won’t close properly but a rock will do the job. There is a lot of flaking green paint on the hatch. On the exterior the post is in good condition with the BPI (Bomb Power Indicator) mount still intact and the dome on the ventilation shaft still intact. The original fence line has been taken down and is sitting in a pile at the corner of the compound.
On the inside the ROC post is painted a nice blue and also in good condition and many artefacts still remain which includes: the original chemical toilet, stands for the beds, brush, battery box, original cupboard, cover for the hatch, carpet, light bulbs, wood on the walls to hold up the wires, There are also some wires hanging out of the ventilation shaft probably for the radio communications, and the sump pump has been removed,
There is also the original post’s note book from the 1970s with the last inspection in 1990. It is also a bit trashed. But otherwise the ROC post is in reasonable condition for a 1991 shut down.
