"Semi underground bunker
"A reinforced concrete semi-underground bunker located near the end of Howard Street at the point where the carriageway splits into two (the bunker is located on the lower side of the upper carriageway). The bunker is heavily buried in soil and obscured by vegetation. It appears to have been either an ammunition storage bunker or a power generation bunker for a wireless transmitting
station or radar station."
