Full description

Baines, C., 20/08/2014, Demolished Structure, Northam Burrows (Personal Comment). SDV357006.

The concrete base described in the Higher Level Stewardship Scheme archaeological survey appears to be the base of a water tank mentioned in the record for MDV102489, rather than the possible World War II structure itself. It is visible on the 2006-2007 aerial photograph GIS layer, and is shown as a circular feature on the Master Map layer.

The building has been demolished but a concrete foundation survives. This measures 5 metres by 4.5 metres. In the near vicinity are several small lumps of concrete, perhaps from the demolished structure. The base is currently used as a slurry store, presumably by the golf club (i.e. for storage of dung removed from the greens).
