Some more pictures of the ruin. You may see the remainder of gates, probably for rolling the searchlight out of the shelter to the position:
It looks some of outer walls were made of wood, there are also remainders of various basements on different sides of remained walls:
Here you may see that the concrete walls were covered with plaster - quite usual for the Finnish objects and not so usual for the Soviet ones.
Yes, the walls are quite thin, so the object had no any fortification strength, but probably this time the constructors relied mostly on good camouflage instead of toughness and solidity.

Some more pictures.
On this picture you may see the edge of the basement located ca. 7 m from the remained walls, so the building was quite large:

Most of objects we mapped on Laivastoniemi naturally do not exist - there are just sand dunes with hills and pits. The sand is not so strong material to remain as it was 77 years ago. This area is quite popular for camping since Soviet times, which also played a role. The only position I found was "Artillery observation post" at 60.16203, 29.14657:
Nothing was found at Jeremianmäki and Uskilanmäki - those areas are densely built up with cottages, so nothing remained. There was just forest at most western point.
I put all newly discovered objects on the map.
It would be nice to hear what do you think concerning the concrete ruin - is it similar to any known searchlight shelter?
