Two military structures, probable Nissen huts, incorporated into a larger military site, Pegwell Bay and mapped from military aerial photographs. They are located beside a former mineral railway complex and presumably are associated with the railway activity during the war.
The rectangular structures measure 12m by 5.6m and 10m by 6.7m. The western one was first visible in January 1942 [1] whereas the eastern one is first visible in April 1944 [2]. Both structures are still apparent in 1950 [3] but are gone by March 2003 [4].
