Observation post. West of Dover on cliffs. (1)

The available aerial photographs which cover this area have been examined as part of the South East Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey NMP (Component 2), and from the description of its location, this OP is likely to be one of the ones in Hougham Battery (NMR: 1423505), Hougham CHL station (NMR: 1477687) or Lydden Spout Battery (NMR: 1423481). From the available information, it is difficult to tell which OP this records refers to (2).
