The OB was at Felon's Oak near Croydon Hall. The map drawn by Bob Reed of Roadwater Patrol is slightly wrong.
The OB is sited in a very wide verge overgrown area, beside a muddy stone track. By the OB there is what looks like a small quarried area or hollow, the OB is possibly under the raised area by it.
There is a great view from Felons Oak OB of the area of Blue Anchor Bay and Watchet, so the Patrol would of had a great view of the invasion if it had taken place in this area, and watched exactly what was happening.
