I haven't been able to find much history on this place, but am still researching it. Visited with Graybags & theterrorwheel to end the day from another site nearby. The site overlooks Plymouth Sound & Cawsand Bay, & is now completely hidden from view as nature has took hold over the years.
There are a total of seven lookout type bunkers set into the ground, all of which would have had been connected via a passageway to the rear, parts of which are now so overgrown. One of the bunkers concrete roof had suffered collapse & only the iron girders were visible. There was also a couple of rooms adjoining one of the bunkers.
The position would have served nearby batteries such as Maker, Raleigh & Grenville with soldiers radioing in positions of enemy ships, enabling the guns to direct their firepower with more accuracy.
Apologies for quality of photos. If anyone can shed some more history on this site please do so!
