Site of a Second World War light anti aircraft (Diver) battery north of Lade Fort. The site was already operating as a light anti aircraft battery when, from July 17th 1944, it was used in the Diver role. It is not known what armament was used, nor the manning details (1). This area was surveyed as part of the South East RCZAS NMP project. The anti aircraft battery was not visible on aerial photographs. It is possible that, given the loose shingle characteristic of the ground in this area; the anti aircraft battery was situated on the road, which would have provided a more stable base. This may explain why no trace of the former battery was visible on the aerial photographs (2).

Formerly listed as TR 02 SE 216, but was identified as a duplicate number and changed in October 2016.
