RAF aerial photograph extends site to west to include searchlight battery of which the pillbox (Context 1) is the surviving feature. This has been repositioned from previous NHER location.
The site consists of three circular banked enclosures for the searchlight and the control building to the southeast. One further circular enclosure is 50m to the south and could be an anti aircraft gun emplacement.
Four smaller circular compounds are noted, possibly machine-gun emplacements and there is a zig-zag ditch on the west and northwest sides of the whole site.
