A rectangular structure with a curved roof, 5 by 11 metres in plan, is visible on aerial photographs taken from 1945 onwards. It is located next to a hedgebank and track that lead to the anti-aircraft battery MDV79572 and is very likely to be associated with it. The building depicted on Mastermap 2011 is considerably bigger and more complex indicating that this structure has been adapted.
