Full Description
February 2016. Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Beauty National Mapping Programme.
The former site of a Second World War Diver Strip Battery, associated camp and defences, is visible on aerial photographs (S1) at Alderton. Another two Diver Batteries are located to the north (ADT 088) and to the south (ADT 086). The site consists of the main strip of four gun emplacements and the associated operational and accommodation buildings located to the east and north of the guns. An embanked trench and/or gun emplacement to the west of the site may have formed part of the defences associated with the site or it may relate to activity in the earlier in the war. Recent photography and mapping would suggest that no above ground components of this site remain.
Due to time constraints only the extent of the buildings have been mapped and not individual structures.
