Auxiliary Unit OUT-Station (Chirnside 1) is a Second World War defensive installation located in Dorset, England. The site represents part of the Auxiliary Units network, a secret guerrilla force established by the British government in 1940 to provide organised resistance in the event of a German invasion. The OUT-station would have served as an operational base for personnel conducting sabotage and intelligence-gathering activities behind enemy lines. Physical remains at the site include archaeological features typical of such installations, though the precise condition and extent of surviving structures reflects the clandestine nature of these wartime fortifications.
