Full Description
WWII military site visible on aerial photographs taken in 1942 [1], located in Walmer. This site was comprised of an irregularly shaped bank of 25 x 17m with a pathway leading to it and an enclosure of barbed wire between one and two lines thick spanning 175 x 75m. The banking was seen to be disused and overgrown on aerial photography taken in 1946 [2]. The barbed wire was also seen to be absent on the 1946 photography. Next Perspectives photography taken in 2003 [3] showed the site to be absent.
To the E of this site lay an area of WWII barbed wire (MWX43646) and to the S lay another WWII military site (MWX43669).
A transcription of the feature recorded from aerial photography exists within a GIS layer held by this HER.
