An extensive Second World War military site is visible occupying Dungeness headland on vertical aerial photographs of 1941, 1942 and 1946. The site is surrounded by barbed wire defences, and includes nissen huts, barrack blocks and other military buildings, gun emplacements, weapons pits, and coastal batteries (Monument Numbers 1485941 and 1485942); as well as pillboxes and slit trenches. The majority of these structures had all gone by the time of the vertical aerial photographs of 1962. These features were mapped from aerial photographs as part of the South East RCZAS NMP project.
