OS records 2 elements to this trig: Bolt and Pole (supporting aircraft warning light) - both recorded as destroyed Feb 1970. Site is an active shooting range and a lot was going on this cold Saturday afternoon. Was able to get reasonabe access to the tower, but decided not to venture too close due to uncertainty of where live rounds were coming from (or going to)!

Tower looks quite old and presumably original: pole apparently gone. In active firing range. Possible to get in from north side although it would be better if possible, to get a view from S side.
