Full Description

A possible length of barbed wire obstruction, constructed some time after September 1944, is visible on photographs from October 1945. Its positioning was probably related to the complex of military buildings nearby (FEX 017)(S1) It appears to have been adopted as a field boundary at a later date. (S2)
