Full Description

R56 NG 04637 83062. Buried concrete bunker with pitched grass covered roof c. 10 x 5m. Internally intact. Timber covered concrete interior. Cylindrical shape of c. 2m diameter. Probably military.


This is a very good example of a timber shuttered construction, air raid shelter from WWII. Unlike many other examples there is no flooding.
