Full Description
A Royal Observer Corps monitoring post. The site is located (with the surface features intact) in the middle of an arable field north of Kennel Hill. 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 poor condition. The site was opened during November 1960 and closed in October 1968 and September 1991.
