A square structure approximately 10 metres by 10 metres is visible on aerial photographs dating to 1946. It is likely to be a military feature, perhaps the concrete base for a WWII structure. It may be associated with two buildings approximately 120 metres to the north that are visible on the same photographs, and also possibly relating to WWII activity in the area. It is not visible on later available aerial photographs and had probably been removed by 1959.
