Full Description

Three circular structures are visible on aerial photographs from 1944, centred on TM24303399. They are on average 3.5m in diameter, and spaced circa 4m apart. Their precise nature is not clear from the photographs. Although they are some distance away, they do appear to be associated with the heavy anti-aircraft artillery battery immediately to the north (see SLY 087). A series of well-used paths connect the structures to the battery, suggesting that the structures may have acted as some kind of storage. There are morphological similarities to the features recorded in 19619. The structures have been removed by 1946. (S1-S2)
