The Target Tracking Radar Station, known as the Golf Ball, was built on this site, designated for use as a base for the United States Armed Forces,[1][2] between 1960 and 1961.[3] The site subsequently became the location of the joint NSA-GCHQ Composite Signals Organisation facility on the island.[4]
