Full Description
Cabrach Royal Observer Corps post, opened in June 1960 and closed September 1991. The surface features remain, within a small rectangular compound, but internally the post has been stripped. Building survey of the post was carried out by Cameron Archaeology in 2018. The visible surface features comprise an air vent, brick and concrete plinth with aconcrete cap and cast iron vents, a ground zero indicator, a bomb power indicator and access with a cast iron hatch. Underground, the post was built of concrete blocks and divided into two rooms, the main room measuring 4.6m by 2.3m wide. Few fittings remain.
