Summary This station set up by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority as part of its seismological research programme has now completed more than a year of operation. The paper describes the site, the layout of the array of seismometers installed there, and the electronic recording equipment and facilities. This is followed by a summary of the methods used to determine the crustal structure at the site of the station, of typical seismological background noise recorded during initial operation, and of the capabilities of the array.
