ARP
Recorder- C. Urquhart. (1)
A Royal Observer Corps monitoring post. The site is located (with the surface features intact) in an overgrown compound on pastoral land close to the trig. station, 100 yards west of public footpath (leading past Delaware Farm) three quarters of a mile north of Hever Road. The site was built as part of an extensive network of posts designed to confirm and report hostile aircraft and nuclear attacks on the United Kingdom. At the time of the Defence of Britain survey (1995-2002) the site was found to remain in a fair condition. The site was opened during July 1960 and closed in October 1968. (1-2)
