The combination Harbor Defense Observation Post (HDOP) / Base End Station (B4S4 for Battery 292) and Searchlight No. 10 were both completed. The HDOP/B4S4 was a wooden structure on stilts. The Distant Electric Control (DEC) station for Searchlight No. 10 was the a wooden building on stilts.  The searchlight shelter was concrete.
