The gallery contains a powerful electric beacon lamp which is illuminated at night and visible from a great distance. A door at the foot is formed from heavy stone jambs with a deep lintel and pediment above bearing a bronze wreath.

An incised inscription over the door is in upright capital lettering. Cast bronze plaques each side of the door and to the left of the gate bear regimental badges and raised lettering in upright capital lettering. A further bronze plaque to the right of the gate bears several regimental badges. Several interpretation boards are located around the site and in nearby sites.'
