Loopholed generator house for an adjacent coast defence Chain Home Low Radar site. Rectangular structure with thin concrete walls and roof. There are some ten small embrasures, four facing NE, four SW, and two NW. The structure is now jutting over the cliff and entry is dangerous. There are two doorways opposite each other now at the cliff edge. A large opening overlooks the sea, and inside is a long rectangular block of uncertain purpose.
