The Artillery Training Services (ATS) hut was built at the head of Fishcombe Cove, outside the strict perimeter of the battery as defined by the walls. A typical wartime single-storey structure of brick with corner and side buttresses and a corrugated asbestos roof (now iron) with steel shuttering to the windows. All sections of the battery undertook training here.
