Full Description
Two Second World War weapons pits, east of Hoo St Werburgh, alongside a narrow lane or footpath, just south of Abbots Court House. Part of the Hoo Peninsula Stop Line. This feature is recorded in the English Heritage report on the Second World War Stop Line on the Hoo Peninsula that ran from Hoo St Werburgh to Higham Marshes. The report states: "Two Second World War weapons pits, east of Hoos St Werburgh, alongside a narrow lane or footpath, just south of Abbots Court House. Recorded on 1942 aerial photographs but obscured by vegetation after 1973. Not seen on a 2014 field visit so are probably backfilled but sub-surface remains may survive." (1)
