The small square concrete building visible in the view towards Folkestone. Inside it has a concrete pillar with a metal rod (pivot?) in the top. I would guess it had some sort of military use. The top of the mirror can be seen to the right, where the cliff top is slightly lower.

The Abbot’s Cliff mirror is at grid reference TR27083867, between Folkestone and Dover. It is very easy to find, simply follow the tarmac path along the cliff top, and you can’t really miss it (it is a great big block of concrete, after all!). It is a five to ten minute walk from the Folkestone - Dover road.
