Full Description
WWII site of unknown function, but likely military, visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 [1], located in Walmer. This site was not visible on aerial photographs taken in 1942 [2]. The site was comprised of four small structures all less than 3m long, set within an enclosure of barbed wire which measured 270 x 10m and was between on and two lengths of wire thick. Set 12m S of the barbed wire was a circular earthwork 10.5m in diameter of unknown function. The site was not visible on Next Perspectives photography taken in 2003 [3].
The site was located close to another WWII site to the W (MWX43666) and a single line of WWII barbed wire to the S (MWX43668).
