(21/01/2004) SX 60038958. The site of an artillery observation post on East Mill Tor is marked by a drystone granite revetment 5.5m long and a maximum of 1.5m high on the south side of an enhanced natural mound that seeming housed an observing shelter. The revetment blocks the former entrance to this feature and is approached from the south by a stone lined gulley 1.0m wide and 0.8m deep. This appears to have provided sheltered access to the Observation Post.
