AOP, Sir Cecil's Ride (Braemar Hill) [????- ]

15 May 2009 Update: Originally this was listed as a pillbox. Now we know it was an Artillery Observation Post (AOP), so I've updated the title.

There's a picture of this pill box on Google Earth. In that picture you can clearly see Mt Parker in the background. But today the box is completely surrounded by undergrowth and small trees.

The design is different to other PBs I've seen, in that it really does look like a box, a concrete cube. And it's not as big as, say, the PBs at Jardine's Lookout. I wonder if it's an earlier design.

AOP at the summit of Jardine's Lookout [????- ]

Hi there,

I found there is a white cube of rock at the summit, past the trigonomatrical station, right besides the fence.

I couldn't find any marks on it.   Does anybody know whether it is a natural rock formation or artificial?

Best Regards,

T
