Description

Concrete trapezoidal radio mast guy anchoring block measuring 2.3m long by 2m wide at the base, 2.3m by 1.25m at the top, the sloping face facing 1914 antenna mast 6. A now cut steel loop was embedded within the block, providing an anchoring point for a guy rope of uncertain purpose. It is currently thought to have been for providing additional outer masthead support.  All outer masts have the same arrangement.
