Situated in the north east corner of the site was an exposed entrance to what was thought to be a dene hole or air-raid shelter. The entrance was through a deep shaft lined with a concrete sewer ring with an internal measurement of 1.85m and a depth of 4m. The structure had a doorway cut through the south west site of the concrete ring and was 0.77m wide and led to a descending series of six concrete steps. The steps led into a small rectangular chamber with dimensions of 1.70m x 2.20m and a height of 2m. Leading off from this chamber was a large chalk cut cavity to the north with another collapsed cavity beyond that and a set of chalk cut steps leading to the south west. The chalk-cut cavity had been capped with a brick dome of about 1.80m. Eight steps were cut into the chalk in the south-west side leading to a corridor, probably a bomb blast baffle. No fittings or furniture or graffiti were found inside the structure. (1)
