Marked on 1905 map as 'Ball Court' and unlikely to be small arms range, as one existed in Seaton Sluice. |

| Pillbox on top of a searchlight. Possibly dates back to 1stWW? Certainly it appears on the 1927 photos. |

Hi Alisdair, Could you let people know what the acronyms stand for? Maybe with a link to a Thesaurus term or archaeological record from the Defence of Britain project dataset if one exists? Would be useful to get a bit of context! Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader |

Certainly - CASL is a coast artillery search light emplacement - similar to the position seen here http://www.skylighters.org/slimages3/scapaflowlightlg.jpg the emplacement would often have steel doors to protect the light when not in use |
