This former gap-filler radar site is located atop Fay Mountain (a large hill really) just south of Westborough. Only the radar tower now remains, used to support a number of commercial radio antennas. The chain-link fence lacks rust, so it appears to be much newer than the radar facility.

The base of the radar tower, showing one foundation / footing. The cabin of a former fire-lookout tower sits on the ground next to the radar tower. The radar tower, after deactivation, hosted this fire lookout (reportedly, from circa 1970 until 1982). [looking east]
