Summary
Ammunition shelter
Full description
Contemporary records state, “Ammunition shelter. Hill Farm, Ford End. Paddock S of Farm buildings. Map ref. 127357”. (Mil. Ed.) <1>
Despite the documented location of “paddock”, the remains of this ammunition shelter stand in a small thicket to the S of the farm buildings. Typical of its type, it was a small “Nissen-type” hut built of corrugated iron sheeting standing on low brick side walls with brick end walls. Now covered in ivy and bramble, the roof has collapsed but the end walls still remain. The entrance was at the N end of the structure.
