Hok Tsui Watchtower [????- ]

1E Cape D'Aguilar Road

While hiking with some friends recently on Cape d'Aguilar, we came across the building below.  We were intrigued to know when it had been built and for what purpose.  It had and entrance door on one side and a high window with slits either side on all four wall,  There was some Chinese script on one wall which translated to what we assume is the address.

Would be most grateful for any information or insight anyone might be able to provide.

Thank you

Jenny
