Adjacent to the modern road, in dunes next to the cliff overlooking the beach are the remains of a structure. The visible remnants of this partially sand-covered building measure 2.5 m by 2 m and it stands 0.8 m high. Constructed from concrete slabs and pre-cast blocks, many broken parts of which are scattered in the immediate vicinity, this structure is probably a W.W.II lookout post which had a view N over Balnakeil Bay and out to the N Atlantic. This building now sits within an erosion scar with shifting sand all around. The dune was probably de-stabilised in this area by the construction of this post.
