Full Description
A possible Second World War anti-aircraft gun emplacement is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as a banked earthwork to the west of the northern end of Dunes Road, New Romney. This feature was mapped from aerial photographs as part of the South East RCZAS NMP project. The possible gun emplacement is centred at TR 0719 2367, and measures approximately 18m in diameter. It consists of a perfectly circular banked ring surrounding a central hollow or depression. It is alternatively possible that this may have had an agricultural use, perhaps as a pond. This feature is no longer visible, either as an earthwork or a cropmark, on vertical aerial photographs of 2007 (1-2).
