Full Description
WWII barbed wire visible on aerial photography taken in 1942 [1], located in Walmer. This single line of wire ran in a curving manner to form a rough L-shape which segmented the SW corner of a field. The wire itself was 168m long. The wire was no longer visible on aerial photography taken in 1946 [2]. The site was not visible on Next Perspectives photography taken in 2003 [3] when the area had been developed upon.
Just to the S lay a WWII probable gun emplacement (MWX43654), and WWII earthworks (MWX43653), 65m to the SW lay a WWII military camp (MWX43651) and 55m to the SSE lay WWII defences around Walmer Castle (MWX43652).
A transcription of the feature recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER.
