Trench Shelter
It would appear that a trench shelter had been constructed at the northern end of the grounds of the former Hong Kong Cricket Club facing Chater Road.
Trench shelter?
I was browsing these photos again a couple of days back, and had the same thought. Then I zoomed in and decided it was just a pile of grass cuttings on the edge of the cricket pitch. Looking at it again, and I'm not sure which it is?
