Full Description
NMRS Report: (24/04/2006)
ND34SW 311.04 33846 42999
This concrete structure, which is one of four on the decoy airfield (ND34SW 311.03-06), stands about 610m SSW of Rose Cottage, at the SE corner of the complex. Defined by concrete walls 0.25m in thickness by 1.2m in height, it is H-shaped on plan, but the sides are of unequal length and return inwards at their ends. In this case the sides measure 7.6m and 5.25m in length respectively, and the cross-wall is 2m in length; the returns are 1.4m in length. One of the structures has a steel loop set in the concrete floor on either side of the cross-wall, but here the interior was obscured by standing water. The structures are probably tethers, possibly for dummy aircraft.
