Although this structure was probably used for shooting deer in the past it had been abandoned for at least 15 years, probably longer. At 1200ft on High Vinnals it has a commanding view of the forest below it and a 360 degree panorama for miles around.
I was told that it had been used in WW2 as a lookout post. Not sure how true this is. In 1992 I climbed up inside and saw there was an old electric heater so there must have been an underground cable at some point.
