Full Description
Site of a World War II gun-emplacement. Comprising a gun shed for a 25-pounder gun with magazine constructed in brick and concrete. By August 2002 sea erosion on the beach side had lead to the collapse of one wall. The remains were demolished between December 2002 and January 2003 and the site landscaped. Both the gun-emplacement and magazine are visible on vertical aerial photographs taken in 1941 by the RAF. The photographs show that the gun shed was connected to the magazine by a zig-zag trench approximately 30m long. The site was visited during coastal zone assessment survey carried out by SCAPE between February and March 2009. This located an area of concrete and brick and debris with concrete steps in situ.
