I tried to reach the pin position from the stair. However, I found the slope was very steep. I discovered some debris which look like they are from the PB but eventually I could only find a ruined structure near the pin position. The structure is similar to PB but not the appearance.

The remains of this PB still existed in 1996. Don't know now. It was a two loophole type, but only the front and bits of each side wall were accessible. the rest was buried in rubble and rubbish, probably from when the car park was built. Access was from the steps leading down to the beach from the point they were closest to the PB. There was a landslip from the front of the PB so coming up that way would be difficult.
