Located next to the lane to Worth Matravers. In a nuclear conflict this post would have been manned by volunteers from the Royal Observer Corps who would be responsible for reporting nuclear blasts and monitoring fallout. The post was opened in 1962 and closed in 1991 after the end of the cold war. Further details about this and other posts can be found at Link
