Full Description
A trial trenching evaluation was carried out by Cameron Archaeology in February 2011 ahead of proposed housing on Plots 15 and 16 Peterseat Drive. Previous work had revealed that the foundations of an anti-aircraft battery (used as a German POW camp from 1945-48) survived in this area (see also NJ90SE0038 and NJ90SE0039). Five trenches (10 percent of the development area) were excavated The evaluation uncovered two further gun emplacements of a World War II anti-aircraft battery, including one with associated ordnance store and electricity supply.
