Full Description
February 2001. NMP.
Two bomb craters, about 5m apart, can be seen as earthworks at TF 6823 4258 on 1944 aerial photographs (S1). They are located alongside an access road from the beach, and would appear to be protecting a stretch of open ground which lies behind the coastal defence scaffolding. The craters may in fact represent two mine-type features, controlling access from the west of this area. The mines may represent part of the World War Two defences in this area and would have been used in conjunction with nearby anti tank blocks (NHER 26696) and coastal defence scaffolding (NHER 26694).
A. Hunt (NMP), 5 February 2001.
