Full Description
Two possible Light Anti-aircraft Artillery (LAA) emplacements are visible as possible earthworks or structures on aerial photographs of 1945, centred on circa TM39014675, Boyton parish (S1). No guns can be seen but
they are visible as roughly circular areas of hardened or disturbed ground, it is not possible to tell which, of about 8m diameter. They are at the northern end of a trackway that appears to connect this site with a number of possible support or accommodation structures (see BOY 046, BOY 048) and two other possible LAA sites to the south ( see BOY 047, BOY 049).
