Monument record TR 02 SE 295 - Second World War anti-invasion beach scaffolding
Summary
A long length of Second World War anti-invasion beach scaffolding is visible on aerial photographs from the vicinity of the pub called The Pilot at Dungeness, northwards past Lade, Greatstone-on-Sea, and Romney Sands, to Littlestone-on-Sea. This is a continuation of the beach scaffolding to the south at Dungeness (Monument Number 1533475), and it continues yet further northwards as Monument Number 1535069. The beach scaffolding had been removed by the time of the vertical aerial photograph of 1959. This feature was mapped from aerial photographs as part of the South East RCZAS NMP project.
