A rail siding went from the main line, up into (and around both sides) of the shack. Once inside, there is a big holding area and then a 2Km tunnel up to Monkton Farleigh. There used to be a huge rubber conveyor to transport the ammo up the tunnel. An overhead ropeway was also used which was dismantled during the 70's (which follwed an earlier tramway). The storage area at the top is divided into districts and was the second biggest ammo dump in Europe in the second world war. It makes a long, potentially dangerous and quite boring walk.
