Full Description
NN 84794 93358
Rectangular concrete platform on a N-S axis with dimensions of roughly 32m x 18m, made up in sections. Some bricks, wooden timbers and cast iron (?broken fire surround) lie about. The platform is recessed into the slope at its east edge where there is a steep bank 1.5m high at south end and 2.0-2.5m at the north end, where there is a knoll, presumably of excavated material. This is probably connected with the wartime activities. Photo 22 from south

Proposal by Glenfeshie Estate to remove these plinths (June 2008). The plinths are described as shallow (around 150mm) and will be removed and the ground reinstated. A photographic record has been requested of the surviving remains in advance of destruction. <1>
This site was visited during a walkover survey in March and April 2011. See the linked event (EHG3560) to download the survey report. <2><3>
