Description
The Dome gunnery trainer at Pembrey Airfield is an igloo-shaped domed structure that stands approximately 10 meters high. It is made of concrete with a rendered exterior, although some of the render has fallen away, revealing the steel reinforcement beneath. On the southwest side, there is a lintelled doorway that serves as the entrance.
Inside, the entrance leads into a single domed chamber. The metal framework of a former screen above the doorway remains, but the interior has been stripped of its original wall surfaces.
