The coastguard lookout is visible on aerial photographs from 1941 within a rectangular enclosure. The form of the enclosure boundary is not clear from the available aerial photographs, but a shadow cast by it suggests that some structural remains were still upstanding in 1947. It is not visible on available aerial photographs taken after this date and may have been erected during the Second World War and removed soon afterwards.
