On a low mound at the end of a line of telegraph poles on an arable field boundary, 70 yards West of Newton Road.
OPEN All surface features remain intact but the ventilation louvres are missing. The hatch is open. There is some rubble at the bottom of the shaft and a little graffiti on the walls but apart from that the post is in a fair internal condition. Remaining artifacts include twin bunks and a single bed, cupboard, table (detached), body splint and the cover plate for the FSM pipe.

The post is now stripped of most original parts. It appears that someone has tried to repaint the monitoring room, however the toilet has been neglected and is full of rubbish.

Easy to find along a track a short distance from the road. Very overgrown, the door was shut but I was delighted to find it opened easily and the counterbalance worked beautifully. The ladder is nice and secure. Inside is dry and it doesn’t smell. There are absolutely no original artifacts at all. There is bits of rubbish (papers bottles cans) in the main room and a big pile in the toilet room. Graffiti on the walls. Someone once tried to paint the walls white, but it is unfinished. Outside there is still the base for mounting the GZI and the blocked off pipe where the fixed survey radiation sensor would have gone. I didn’t look for the pipe for the BPI because it was too overgrown.
Basically unchanged since the review from 2020.
