Located near the Vecgulbene Manor, on Litenes Street.
In the second half of the 1940s, the Soviet Army Unit No. 75568 radar company was stationed in the Vecgulbene Manor orangery and the adjacent manor gardener's house. For its needs, locator mounds were built and locators were installed at the airfield (former Latvian military aviation airfield). At the end of the 1980s, they were moved to Beļava parish. The Soviet army left Gulbene in 1993.
A square is visible, with two artificially raised mounds on Litenes Street.
