03/09/1999 This auxiliary unit bunker was built by the local St. Buryan Auxiliary Unit members. It was built underground on an old Roman road at Crean Hill near St. Buryan. It was 11ft deep and 18ft long with a built-in escape tunnel. It had a wooden floor and walls with an arched galvanised roof.

Furniture consisted of a table and two wooden forms. Turf and hawthorn trees were planted back on top of the bunker for camouflage. There was about four feet of soil on top. The Unit stored half a ton of TNT explosive and 8cwt of Nobel 808 explosives in the bunker, as well as other explosives and equipment.

(further information on original record). (Information obtained by the recorder from a surviving member of the Unit - Mr. Norman Matthews of St. Buryan).
