The OB was located in woods near Ddolwen Farm near Criney Hill. It was constructed by the civil engineering firm Hussey, Egan and Pickmere. There was an Observation Post near to Chestnut Valley, in Gwaun Woods. It was recalled to have been built to a very high standard, with a long escape tunnel, which on completion was filled with loose stones. These would have been moved to the main chamber to allow escape and prevent pursuit.
A post war owner, Mr John Lamb, could remember an Officer coming from the Brecon Barracks to dispose of the explosives left in the OB. Most were destroyed in a nearby field, the Officer's hat being the only victim.
