Full Description
A WWII military site visible on aerial photography taken in 1946 [1], which was not observed in 1942 [2], located in St Margaret’s at Cliffe. The site was comprised of two nissen huts and one separate structure alongside five banks, to the NW was a slit trench and to the S was a series of earthworks which may have formed a munitions dump and included a possible banked gun emplacement. The nissen huts were 12m x 8m, the smaller structure was 6m x 4m and surrounding banking was 4-5m thick. The slit trench was 25m long and 2-7m wide. Two of the earthworks were banked and between 6m and 10m square, another was circular with a diameter of 5m. The possible gun emplacement was 13.5m in diameter with banks 2m thick. The site was no longer visible on Next Perspectives photography taken in 2003 and 2007 [3, 4], when it was in use as an arable field (with part of the slit trench built upon).
