A small circular structure, approximately 12 metres in diameter, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 to the west of the Livermead Cliff Hotel complex. It appears to be sunken into the ground and may be an Emergency Water Supply reservoir of Second World War date. It is not visible on aerial photographs taken in 1949 and redevelopment of the site in 1999 would probably have removed any remains.
