Full Description
WWII structures visible on aerial photography taken in 1942 [1], located in Walmer. The structures were rectangular and measured between 6.5m and 2m at maximum dimensions. They were located between 105m and 130m W of the high water mark, just upon the beach. These features were no longer visible on aerial photography taken in 1946 [2]. Next Perspectives photography taken in 2003 [3] showed the features to be absent.
The site was located directly adjacent to an area of WWII barbed wire (MWX43646), a single line of WWII barbed wire (MWX43648) and a line of WWII beach defences (MWX43640). A WWII military site (MWX43669) was located 80m WSW of these features.
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photographs exists within a GIS layer held by this HER.
