More there I think
Freddie, had a look today at this battery and found quite a lot remianing just down the hill from you 2016 images. There is a large gun pit, traverse wall (3 metres hight), a detached expense magazine or war shelter, two battery buildings and a BCP. Just bleow the BCP is a short trench with another concrte shelter/position.
Could only find one gun pit, but the other could be lower down.
Will post some iamges later.
Congratulations
Well done Johnc! I had a look around the site of Freddie's pics, but after staring down the steep and jungle clad slope I chickened out of going any further on the basis that "it doesn't look like there's anything there". My mistake. Looking forward to seeing your photos.
Re: Ruins in the area
Hi GW,
I remember one of those ruins is just a little beyond the walk-way shown here. The low wall on the other photo could be access through these steps, which open up to a relative flat piece of land. It is behind some bushes. I was there in 2015. It seems it had further collasped in 2016.
