Unclear structure visible on RAF AP (APH). Visit 12/10/1994 (Horner) low concrete structure. Possibly group of cattle troughs but given that a large feature appears on the AP it is likely to be military. Unable to inspect closely (Horner).

Passmore locates an unidentified concrete base and plinth at SX9592287428 but there is no official document or plan that indentifies the structure. A rectangular concrete base (8.42 by 8.09m) with a raised concrete plinth (2.42 by 1.89m) at center of north side. Appears to be the base of a small building with the superstructure removed. On northern edge of plinth is a concrete block (1.68 by 0.61 by 0.50m) on this block are the possible remains of electrical boxes and four ceramic cable ducts. Other details: plan + photos.
