Full description

Four small circular structures are visible on air photos (1) on the north-west edge of RAF Cleave. They are of diameter 6.5m approx. It is possible that they originally formed part of a defensive barrier around the camp, and they may be the remains of small gun emplacements. The structures were plotted as part of the NMP.
