Description
A programme of archaeological recording was conducted of the former NATO Forward Scatter Station Stenigot buildings, at Manor Hill, Donington on Bain. The base was chosen to operate as a relay station of the ACE High tropospheric scatter communications system. The facility was built within its own fenced compound inside the former chain home radar station, with construction work being completed in 1960. The system continued in operation until the early 1990s, when new forms of communication technology rendered ACE High obsolete. {1}{2}
