        It consists of a group of underground bunkers and tunnels built into the banks of a dry river bed. The grid is surrounded by fox holes and the surface has been surveyed for the location of samplers at 50 foot intervals. Sampling positions have also been located inside the fortification and in the fox holes to permit comparison of dosages in protected and unprotected positions.
