Full Description
Summarised from report:
Behind and above the compound which served as an instrument workshop and separate living accommodation for the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) , recessed into the hillside, is a small reinforced-concrete shelter with wing walls. It provides an excellent view across the valley to the north of the Heights and may be an observation post connected with the light AA emplacements on the north side of the Drop Redoubt. Slot in the floor were probably for telephone cables. (1)
