The target area of this firing range (NPRN 419603) comprises a massive bank, or stop-butt, fronted by a second, ditched bank (the target mound) behind which the targets were located and which is revetted by a wall facing the stop butt. A building is located immediately to the rear of the stop-butt.
On the basis of early OS maps this arrangement was in place by the First World War having developed through stages from a simple bank in the mid-nineteenth century. The entire arrangement was originally enclosed by a fence.
The stop-butt (see NPRN 67435) is a massive bank of rubble measuring almost 44m long (NE-SW) by 10m wide and 4m high, partly revetted on its east side. Parallel to it on the north-west, the second bank measures some 34m by 6m and 2m high above a ditch 0.5m deep along its outer, north-west, side. The rear face of the bank is revetted with a concrete capped stone wall, or parapet, 0.3m thick. Its overall height is 1.95m and rises to 0.7m above the top of the bank. This side of the parapet, facing the firing line, is lined with steel plates. To the rear, the remains of steel brackets secured to the wall face are still visible along with spaced slots in the stone work. The brackets will have held a protective awning for the markers who operated machinery for raising and lowering the targets. The target mechanism will have been mounted in a shallow ditch between wall and stop-butt but has been completely removed.
Behind the stop-butt on the south-east (at SO26090952) is a building measuring 6m (NE-SW) by 3.5m and 2.5m high, made of concrete block walls with a flat, reinforced concrete roof. There is a doorway in the south end wall and window openings in the side walls. The building was probably a control room (NPRN 67436).
