This small bunker, built in the 1950s, served as a security post in the
Castel Settlement. During this period the Castel was a small frontier
settlement in the corridor leading to Jerusalem, an area which
suffered from constant infiltration of "Fedayeen" terrorist bands
from adjacent Jordanian territory. The building was built from a
cylinder of reinforced concrete, halfway buried in the ground. With
the expansion of the Castel area in the 1970s and the building of
Mevesert Zion, the cylinder was rolled to its current location adjacent
to the Lily Lookout rent location adjacent
