A roofless rectangular structure approximately 10 by 7m in size is visible adjacent to a footpath on the north-west facing slopes of West Down the north-west facing slopes of West Down.
No structure is identifiable in this location on aerial photographs of 1946 and it is therefore probable that the structure was constructed in the second half of the 20th century.
The site is obscured from view by dense tree cover on more recent images and a site visit is recommended to clarify the character of the structure.
