WWII military features visible on aerial photography taken in 1942 and 1945 [1, 2 and 3] and located in Dover. Two structures of 7.5m x 2.5m and 5m x 4m; one circular bank 5m in diameter with an internal ditch; and a square bank of 5m x 3.5m form the site. A small trackway lead NW from the site. 50m to the N lay a larger military complex (MWX43542), which was likely associated with this small site. Overlaying this site were a series of slit trenches (MWX43579 and MWX43580) which covered the surrounding area. The features were not visible on Next Perspectives photography taken in 2007 [4], despite the field being arable and showing surrounding earthworks as parchmarks.
A transcription of the features recorded from aerial photographs exists within a GIS layer held by this HER.
