Monument record MKE6994 - WWII air raid shelters, Dover
Summary
A collection of nine WWII air raid shelters visible in 1945, located in Dover. These banked features were arranged in pairs with one shelter in the N and one S. The ninth shelter was visible from 1945 and may represent either a shelter or underground storage depot. The remains of the two NNW-SSE ditches could just be seen in 2007, none of the banked features could be determined, despite the area having been given over to grassland.
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photographs exists within a GIS layer held by this HER.
