Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Wartime observation post on Pembrokeshire coast. This is one of three brick and concrete structures that remain on a cliff ledge below Fishguard Bay Caravan Site. Presumably they were part of the WW2 coastal defence network although no enemy has approached the mainland here since the French in 1797.

Technical description is as follows:

"Complex consisting of two 6-inch BL Mk XII gun houses, two CASL emplacements, a battery observation post, an observation post, an engine room, three circular holdfasts, a store / workshop, the guard room and ten earth revetments." Defence of Britain Project,Record Number 12205.
