Description

The former Royal Observer Corps Underground Monitoring Post, located north of the A92 in Elliot, was built in 1958. This underground rectangular bunker features two internal chambers and is accessed via a metal ladder in a narrow entrance shaft, with ventilation and detecting structures situated above ground. The structure is made of reinforced concrete.

Above ground, there is a low, square-plan green painted concrete entrance hatch set on a concrete plinth with a base course and a bevelled top edge. A concrete step leads to the east. There is also a square-plan ventilation shaft with louvred openings to the north. The top opening metal entrance door leads to the vertical shaft containing the wall-mounted metal ladder that provides access to the bunker.

To the west, there is a low, capped louvred ventilation shaft, along with a cylindrical survey meter probe cover and bomb power indicator baffle plates.

Inside, the bunker consists of a large rectangular monitoring room and a smaller rectangular ancillary room, which includes a toilet. A timber door with a moulded surround and a vent at the bottom leads into the large monitoring room, which features rubber flooring and small metal piles that connect to external recording meters. There is some timber moulding around a notice board and a wall-mounted timber desk, as well as some surviving wall-mounted communication equipment. An iron grill is located on the floor below the ladder.
