Monument record MWX43669 - WWII military site, Walmer
Summary
WWII military site visible in 1942 and 1946, located in Walmer. The 1942 photography showed this site to be comprised of two large earthworked features, each with an associated structure, a bank, an irregular ditch and enclosing barbed wire. The larger of the associated structures appeared to be a Dover style pillbox. Aerial photography taken in 1946 showed the two large features had been disused. Two lengths of barbed wire had also been removed in the SW of the site. Five small structures had been added to the site, as had three banks and two lines of barbed wire located around a new series of parch marks. Also added was a spigot mortar. The site was not visible in 2003.
