Lookout point, possibly used by the Home Guard. A square-shaped building with lookout points overlooking Freshwater Bay and the Channel. The entrance is to the rear. The two apertures are 15ft long, with brick dividers. There appears to be an internal wall with a doorway at each end, but the whole has been infilled with earth.
