A Royal Observer Corps monitoring post. The site is located (with the surface features intact) on open ground by a gate on a public footpath, on Beacon Hill 400 yards north of Common Lane. The site was built as part of an extensive network of posts designed to confirm and report hostile aircraft and nuclear attacks on the United Kingdom. At the time of the Defence of Britain survey (1995-2002) the site was found to remain in a fair condition. (1)

The site was opened during March 1964 and closed in September 1991. (2)
