Full Description
Two WWII military buildings (possibly pillboxes) located north of Ramsgate Harbour, mapped from military aerial photographs taken in 1941.
The buildings lie within 30m of each other and measure 4.5m by 3m (northern structure) and 2.5m squared (southern structure). They are first visible in December 1941 [1] and have been mapped from this series of photographs and are possibly associated with military activity in the area. The southern structure has been removed by April 1946 [2] whereas the northern building is still visible then but is gone by September 1948 [3].
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER [4].
