Full Description

A transformer building was noted by ARCH's Evanton Wartime Remains project in 2013. It was a rectangular windowless brick building, with a blast wall to the south side is situated near the coast. It was thought to be a transformer building, perhaps for runway lights. The trenches inside for cable ducting survived in 2013. The 1946 aerial photograph suggests there might be remains of a building just south along the coast. <1>
