Abergavenny Patrol

The OB is located on Skirrid Fach (Ysgyryd Fach) near to Keeper's Cottage. See the 360 tour for images and dimensions. Near the OB is a brick hexagonal structure that appears to have been waterproofed. This may have been a historical "garden" feature which could have been utilized by the Patrol as a store. It is an unusual structure and unlikely to have been contemporary with the OB.

John Pritchard, son of Auxilier Reg Pritchard, was taken to the OB in the 1950s. He recalled an underground structure with two entrances (most likely and entrance and emergency exit), 6 beds and a chimney passing up through a tree.

John Marlog lived in Keepers Cottage during the 1960s (this is the address of Auxillier John Forbes).
He recalled the rough location of the OB and the fact that it was still underground, completely empty (no ordnance) other than 6 bunk beds that his father used to make a bird aviary. He stated it had a 3 brick high hatch leading to a 20 foot underground brick room with hatch leading to escape tunnel. He recalled his brother locating two live hand grenades during this period that their father disposed of and told them not to go near there again.
