You’d have to keep a sharp eye out for these mini-projectiles. Here there was no rest for the weary, even if you were a saint. A soldier needs a sharp eye and the ability to hit the target. This range, which still has an almost complete intact impact area, was used during World War Two and into the 1950s. Soldiers could zero in with their 303 Lee Enfield rifles and their Bren Guns. Later the City added a sewer lagoon in the 1960s which effectively cut off access to this site.
