More information : (TA 1204 4770) Air raid shelter.
This `Stanton' air raid shelter is situated in a field to the north of the village of Brandesburton, it is aligned east-west and is constructed of concrete parabolic sections. The shelter is a semi sunken structure and has a brick blast wall protecting the open east end. At the west end of the building is a square concrete pre-cast ventilator to provide some fresh air for the occupants. The whole structure is covered with earth to provide some protection from blast damage and to give some measure of camouflage. The building was visited by the Fortress Study Group in 1992 as part of the Holderness Survey, they found the site in good condition and considered it to be at little or no risk. (1)
