NHER 33311 (Monument record) - Site of World War Two searchlight battery

On west side of hedge where farm track passes through into field at approximately TM 2208 9185.
Circular concrete base. No sign of reinforcement but right size for a mortar spigot and difficult to think of any other reason for such a feature here.
E. Rose (NLA), 5 December 1997.

This spigot mortar emplacement may be all that remains of a searchlight battery and hut associated with Hardwick USAF Airfield (NHER 21992), which lies approximately 2.5km east-south-east.
Information from [1].
The remains of a searchlight battery are clearly visible in this area on RAF 1946 aerial photographs. Two huts are also visible on the southern field boundary.
