An unusually large machine gun post built of cement filled bags. There are 5 gun ports set to cover the north eastern coast
line of the island. Entrance to the facility is via a tunnel, originally built of wood and iron, and covered by a mound of earth. This tunnel has been curved to minimise the chances of ricocheting rounds form entering the machine gun post. The iron is badly decomposed and the tunnel is partially collapsed. There is the remains of what appears to be part of a wind pump protruding from the roof of the feature. Nearby is a collapsed wood and iron bucket toilet.
