Full description
If you do not understand anything on this page please contact us.
The possible site of an Admiralty WWI Coastal W/T Wireless Station. Known as a 'Captain Round' Station after a Marconi engineer who designed it.
There is no visible evidence of the original masts but the site is in an open field where there is a possibility that the concrete foundations for the masts have survived below ground level. There is also the potential for below-ground archaeology. (1)
