The Register entry includes the Army bunkers and the land on which they stand, being part of Swan Location 11544 on Reserve 9868, as defined in Heritage Council drawing number YNP-1. These are two Nissen Hut shaped buildings of off-form concrete, with rear exhaust chamber and chimney and rear concrete pit and drains. They were built during the war when the armed services took over the Park and the RAAF occupied the Yanchep Inn and Gloucester Lodge. They stand about 50 yards apart. Two similar, but smaller structures also exist within the Park but are not mentioned in the assessment documentation.
