There are two sound mirrors on the side of the hill below the Fan Bay deep shelter, they are behind a locked gate and fence but you can get quiet close to them. The route to them is a bit steep but take your time and the route is not to bad.

This old position from the Second World War was used to locate ships acoustically - for the cannon positions.
