Second World War structure and gun emplacement located on the coast south of Dumpton Bay, and has been mapped from military aerial photographs.

The gun emplacement has an internal diameter of 2.5m and appears to have been constructed using sandbags. The adjacent structure, located 5m to the SE measures 5.2m by 4m.

Both features are first visible on aerial photographs taken in January 1941 [1] and were mapped using a series from May 1942 [2]. The military features are still visible in April 1946 [3] and have been removed by August 1947 [4].

A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [5].
