Spigot mortar emplacement, with pedestal and ammunition lockers. Graffiti on the upper concrete slabs of the lockers shows a crude swastika, hammer and sickle, a cross of St. George and an apparent arrow head. The site was excavated as part of an archaeological survey of Farnham Park. [It is not clear if the structure has been backfilled or left open].
