Hegarty, C. + Knight, S. + Sims, R., 2013-2014, South Devon Coast Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey National Mapping Programme Project (Interpretation). SDV351146.
The Section Observation Post is visible as a rectangular structure, circa 3.5 by 2.5 metres in width, on aerial photographs between 1948 and 2012. One wall is possibly visible on images dating from 1942, although the quality of the available laser scan is poor and it is difficult to make out any detail. It is marked on the base map so has not been transcribed.
