The remains of a large buried reserve (underground chamber) form part of a World War II Radar station, which is now partly demolished. One reserve would have been used for the receiver and one for the transmitter. The site was in use between 1940 and 1972, and was taken over by the fire brigade for use in training in 1978. The buried reserve was later filled with water and used by the Police as a diving training centre. On a site visit in 2007, access was not possible due to the water but the walls are thick and there appears to be several chambers with connecting doorways. The presence of two ventilator shafts was also noted. The reserve was drained and filled in by 2008, before a survey could be undertaken.
