Full Description
The external mound of this shelter was planned using a Total Station. It was photographed during demolition. Detailed internal planning of this shelter was not possible as it had been converted to a boiler room and still contained all the equipment and pipe work at the time of the survey. This shelter appears to have been identical in design to shelter 1 (MCC9231). <1>
