Full Description
Former site of the Second World War Pegwell Coast Battery Observation Post. The building was demolished in 1983 and replaced by a petrol station.
It is thought that there was a fougasse also on this site. Two apparent feeder pipes are visible running from the site out to the scaffolding beach defence obstacle. (1)
