Summary
An aerial photograph taken in 1946 showed three circular structures here, two extant and one as a soilmark. The western one had an entrance to the northeast and a small tower on its northern flank. The eastern one had an entrance to the west. These features presumably had a military function, possibly as gun emplacements or radar beacons.
