In a large rectangular high fenced compound on the east side of A803.
LOCKED All surface features remain intact although no paint
remains. The hatch is locked. A metal dome on the ventilation shaft indicates that this was a master post. There is paving around the FSM pipe. The compound has large green double gates with barbed wire on top for vehicle access.
There is the base of a small structure in the north-west corner of the compound which might be the base of an aircraft post. We have been told that there was a surface post South of the main Stirling road in the East of Kilsyth on high ground. This fits with Attack Warning Red: Opened December 1938 NS722779 34/B.1 Kilsyth Nov 1953 resited to NS741761 26/Z.4 Dec 1961 resited to NS670756 renamed Kirkintilloch Underground April 1963 27/N.3 Oct 1968 25/C.2
Opened in 1963 and closed in 1991.

The ROC post is now unlocked with someone having forceding entry and the hatch being busted open. On the exterior the post has suffered some damage wich includes: ventilation shaft top ripped off, holes in the FSM (Fixed Survey Meter) mount, some concrete around the hatch smashed away, and the BPI (Bomb Power Indicator) mount gone, with the original fence line now destroyed with some of the pillars lying in the corner of the compound.
On the inside the post is in fair condition but is flooded with 2 inches of water but many artefacts still remain. These include, original cupboard, table, chemical toilet, rope, fuses, mattresses for the beds, Tele-Talk (Damaged) stands for the beds, BT junction boxes, WD 1411 unit (damaged), screws, jerry cans, papers, documents, chairs, and a unusual sink with tap and soap with a pipe going out of the monitoring room.
The small brick building still stands and looking inside it has a pipe wich is probably the water source for the sink inside the post. Overall the ROC post is in fair condition for a 1991 shut down.

The small brick building still stands and looking inside it has a pipe wich is probably the water source for the sink inside the post. Otherwise all that the ROC post is in good condition and pretty good for a 1991 shut down.
