Building 67, WWI Sentry Post, Lodge Hill

Reinforced concrete sentry post (also known as building 67) located just inside (N) of the S boundary of the Lodge Hill compound and thus overlooks the enclosure to its N and southern approaches. A one-man concrete shelter approximately 2.5m high and polygonal (11-sided) with a shallow domed roof. Walls are approximately 30cm (1 foot) thick and built in circa 2 feet (60cm) sections; the roof constructed using a corrugated former. Low protected concrete crawl porch on S side with the doorway into the sentry post facing SE. No internal metal lining plate to the interior as found in other examples. Interior extremely confined, only allowing one person access. Five very small vertical slots serve as observation apertures. Their small size would also minimise the likelihood of shrapnel reaching the interior in the event of an attack.
