In an overgrown fenced compound on East side of sharp bend in Meresborough Road.

SEALED In poor condition externally and internally with the hatch missing and the ladder pulling away from the wall. Full of rubbish, fire damaged and flooded to a depth of 10". Dismantled bunks remain. The post was open when first inspected but the shaft has now been filled with concrete.

Opened in 1961 and closed in 1968.
