Full Description
WWII possible gun position or shelter visible on aerial photography taken in 1942 and 1945 [1 and 2], located in Dover. This site measuring 14m x 10m lay 50m W of the North Centre Bastion of Western Heights (MKE7019 and NMR 468101) midway down the slope. It was banked with two roughly circular ditched features, which may represent a defensive position, or an entrance. The feature was no longer visible on Next Perspectives photography taken in 2003 [3] when the site was under grassland.
This site lay in an area of WWII features, alongside was one potential small barrage balloon site (MWX43606), a military building (MWX43605) and two large cut features (MWX43602 and MWX43604).
A transcription of the feature recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER.
