An 'Orlit' (pre-cast concrete) 'A' aircraft observation building.

This is a rectangular building 10' by 6'8". The building was split into two sections, the entrance door led into the smaller roofed section which was used as a shelter and store with a sliding door into the open section which housed the post instrument and chart on top of a wooden mounting.

Steele Road ROC Post is at the edge of this small plantation.
