The possible remains of a Second World War decoy installation have been identified at Ash. The remains consist of fragments of several structures but have not yet been surveyed.(1)

A Q Site of Second World War date was visible as structures in RAF/2C/UK925 V 35 05-JUN-1942. The site was a decoy for RAF Manston. It comprised decoy lighting in a T-layout on plan with a control centre to the south. The decoy lighting was oriented approximately east-west. The head of the T (to the east) was about 120m long, from which extended a perpendicular line of lighting, of which about 870m could be mapped. The control centre to the south included a structure covered by earth with other small features nearby. The lighting array is not visible on aerial imagery immeadiately post-dating the Second World War and no remains are visible on Next Perspectives APGB Imagery 07-APR-2021. (2-3)
