At the end of a line of telegraph poles in an overgrown rectangular compound (planted with new trees), 30 yards east of a drive into the Douglas Estate (pedestrian public access) and 150 yards north of A70.
LOCKED All surface features are intact with the blue/grey paint flaking. There is a very high concrete apron around the access shaft covering the bottom of the ventilation louvres. The main ventilation shaft has very small replacement louvres with the bottom half of the old holes
blocked. The hatch is locked.
There are two concrete bases of buildings alongside the access drive. They are nothing to do with the ROC post but they look military. Perhaps the estate was used during the war.
Opened in 1964 and closed in 1991.

The ROC post is still LOCKED all surface features still remain intact, with the posts original fence line, and telegraph pole still intact. The shafts are flanking gray/blue paint. The post is situated low in the ground which is unusual for posts, the Ventilation louvers are very small, and almost look replaced by standard ones. The BPI ( Bomb Power Indicator ) mount is still intact, but it’s also very low into the ground. There is some concrete chipped away from around the hatch. The original lockes are still there but the hasps have been cut around the locks. hatch is also originally locked on a Scottish ‘T’ bar key, and the mechanism have rusted solid. Otherwise that the post is in good condition.
