NHER 25471 (Monument record) - Possible World War Two defensive structure at Winterton Gap

Defensive Structure.
Unusual; four concrete blocks support a flat roof. May have been connected with site NHER 18355 to east.

The structure described above (which was located to the east of NHER 18355 rather than vice versa) was not recognised on the consulted aerial photographs, nor does its location correspond with a World War Two structure mapped by the NMP. Its description, however, matches a concrete platform constructed on top of four anti tank cubes at TG 4990 1986, clearly visible on aerial photographs taken in 1973 (S1). The cubes were part of a World War Two tank trap recorded as NHER 18355. The platform had supported a small, post-War structure (S2), probably a Coastguard lookout. Although the lookout lay approximately 195m to the northwest of the grid reference given for this site, it seems probable that they are the same structure.
