Observation Post/ OP 16.

Extant, it’s all there! This Observation Post is a very fine feature and unusual in appearance as Eric Hemery (1983) describes: “Above its head [East Okement] passes a military track from OP17 on Knack to OP16 on Middle Hill, which it approaches as a grass-track continuation (westward) from the ring-road; the arch construction of this OP gives it an individual appearance.“
