Second World War anti aircraft battery. Four concrete bases remain; the sub-cirular base furthest east would have housed the anti-aircraft gun with three other ancillary buildings housing personnel and amunition. Likely had a role to offer cover and protection to the nearby water / fuel depot, pumps, tanks and pipeline. <1>
