Full Description

Second World War military support buildings, part of the Stop Line defences in the Hoo Peninsula. It is located north of the Ratcliffe Highway, to the north of Hoo St Werburgh. This is recorded in the report by English Heritage on the Second World War Stop Line in the Hoo Peninsula that ran from Hoo St Werburgh to Higham Marshes. The report states "Second World War military support buildings, possibly representing ammunition stores, adjacent to and associated with a pillbox (NRHE 1418681) on the north side of the Ratcliffe Highway. The structures are visible on photographs taken in 1944 and 1952 but it cannot be seen on aerial photographs of 1961 so had apparently been removed by this date, although it is possible that sub-surface remains survive".
