Observation post north of Fife Ness

This small structure is at the top of the beach. It has a stone base covered by an iron partial cylinder with a domed top. It is a wartime two-man observation post, possibly associated with Crail airfield. It may be the one recorded as Canmore ID 80388, Site Number NO61SW 16, to the north-east and noted as "Not seen (knocked down?)".
