One of the Light Anti Aircraft gun emplacements for the Second World War Emergency Coastal Battery is visible as a roughly semi-circular platform, circa 5 metres in diameter, on aerial photographs taken in 1948. It is not visible on later available aerial photographs, but remains have presumably been obscured by scrub.
