Description
The 200 yard firing position (for range NPRN 419922) is a substantial sandy bank some 50m long, aligned north-south, but disturbed at its north end where it is traversed by a footpath. It is 8m-9m wide and 1.5m high at its south end. Along its west side the profile of the mound is stepped. On the 'step', at the base of the upper scarp, are traces of a narrow slit trench (now largely slumped) lined with corrugated iron sheets.
