Summary

An RAF aerial photograph taken in January 1946 shows a military target marker and four circular cropmarks interpreted as the remains of an anti aircraft gun battery. Unfortunately, a later photograph taken in 1946 showed this site had been ploughed and the features lost. The area is known locally as the 'The Bombing Ranges'.
