Summary

A seemingly intact World War Two spigot mortar pedestal was noted at this location in 2023. Only the uppermost portion of the concrete pedestal is currently visible so it is unclear if any other elements of the mortar emplacement survive. This is one of three extant spigot mortar pedestals that lie in the vicinity of Nuns' Bridges Road (the others being NHERs 67110 and 67112).
